Equity Trusts and Succession

Equity, Trusts and Succession offers a comprehensive summary and analysis of the fundamental concepts of the law in this field.

The text is written in plain language and designed to guide readers through the concepts that lie at the heart of the law of equity, trusts and succession, and the context against which that law was made.

Equity, Trusts and Succession (2nd edition) continues the reputation of the first edition as an invaluable guide, completely refreshed and revised to incorporate a number of key legislative and common law changes, including changes made by the Trusts Act 2019. The book begins with an introduction to the law of equity, followed by chapters covering fiduciary relationships, the creation of express trusts, constructive trusts, resulting trusts, and a chapter dedicated to the Trusts Act 2019. Later chapters assess charitable trusts, injunctions, and tracing with the final chapter devoted to the law of wills and succession.

The book is designed and carefully written to follow a number of the curriculum requirements for law school courses covering equity, trusts and succession and is also a practical first-stop resource for legal professionals, accountants and other interested parties who need a convenient and useful reference to the current law.
