Author Description

The new edition of this leading work continues to provide full analysis of the legal and practical aspects arising in trusts disputes, with attention to jurisdiction-specific issues covering ten of the most relevant territories. Since the last edition the law has developed at a fast pace and trust disputes continue to increase as international trusts reach the second, third and sometimes fourth generation of beneficiary. In particular, there have been changes made to the law of succession in England and Wales (Intestacy Rules 2014) and case law such as Ilott v The Blue Cross (2017) which consider the implications for family provision under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975. Developments relating to the position of trusts in matrimonial disputes are analysed.--
