This unique title is the only work to bring together up to date texts of annotated and amended legislation relating to trusts and estates for the trust practitioner.

Covering the primary statutes and rules governing trusts and estates practice, each Act has been fully annotated with commentary written by a leading barrister helping to provide a foundation for further research.

All legislation relevant to trusts and estates law is provided including the following key material:

Trustee Act 1925
Administration of Estates Act 1925
Trusts of Land and Appointment or Trustees Act 1996 and the Trustee Act 2000

Updates to this new edition include amendments to the Wills Act 1968 and the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 as a result of the Civil Partnership Act 2004, the inclusion of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (which establishes the new Court of Protection).

This legislation has had far reaching implications on the law, making this an essential purchase for all practitioners who advise clients on the management and disposal of their estate.

Reviews:

"It will undoubtedly be of great benefit to have such a comprehensive number of annotated statutes in one volume and the author is to be commended for the thorough and pragmatic commentary that accompanies the statutes."
