This textbook is a comprehensive and accessible guide to Trusts Law and has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent developments in the area. The authors bring a unique combination of academic rigour and hands-on commercial experience to the explanation of their subject and it is these practical insights which make the book essential reading for all law students. Many law students struggle with the concept of Trusts Law and it can take time to properly understand the complex body of rules that surround it. This book will help demystify some of these rules and put Trusts Law into a practical context, allowing students the time to develop a deep and critical understanding of the topic. This book is an ideal companion for both law undergraduate and GDL/CPE students. New to this Edition:
