Details

Singapore''s growth as a global wealth management hub has fuelled the need to develop expertise in the provision of trust and fiduciary services. The publication of this book as a reference for the drafting of trusts is therefore timely. Its aim is to aid the drafter by discussing all the issues which arise in drafting settlements and will trusts, and to provide precedents.

Derived from the prizewinning Drafting Trusts and Will Trusts and adapted for use in the local context, this book is part of a series of textbooks on drafting trusts in different jurisdictions, which now includes Canada, Australia and Northern Ireland.
