Spierin Brian: Succession Act 1965 and
Related Legislation: A Commentary

Succession Act 1965 and Related Legislation: A Commentary

The Scots Law of Succession provides a clear comprehensive exposition of the law of succession in Scotland. It offers a straightforward approach to this often confusing area of law and includes commentary on the background and possible difficulties of interpretation of the rules of succession. Since neither statute nor case law provides complete answers to many of the questions that commonly arise, this book assists both students and practitioners in the logical working through of solutions by emphasising the principled system of rules and presumptions of law governing succession. Helpful examples and illustrations are provided throughout and succession is placed in its broader context of property law, family law and trusts. As well as updated case law and statutory elements, the Third Edition takes account of recent legislation including the Succession (Scotland) Act 2016 and the Trusts and Succession (Scotland) Act 2024, as well as commentary on the attempted reforms of intestate succession in Scotland. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Scottish Law Service, Scots Law Student Service and Scots Law online services.

The Scots Law of Succession

Written in a straightforward, modern style and providing a comprehensive set of trust precedents this book is a value-adding reference work on key areas of trust law for private client practitioners. Containing a detailed discussion of administrative provisions, some of which are not generally dealt with in conventional textbooks on English trust law, it provides answers (with appropriate reasons and authority, where available) to a number of important questions for practitioners, such as: Are forfeiture clauses valid, and do automatic flee clauses work? How should a drafter provide for the trust's proper purpose, and would STAR trusts be recognised in other jurisdictions? How can one validly restrict a beneficiary's right to information and trust documents, and what indemnities should retiring trustees request from their successors? The Second Edition reflects important new case law (in the Cayman Islands, England and other leading trust jurisdictions), legislative changes, changes to drafting practice and includes fully updated precedents which are also supplied as an accompanying electronic download. The meaning and, where relevant, the source of each provision used in the precedents is explained in the book, with suggested wording for common alternative options, as well as discussions of some common drafting mistakes and traps to avoid. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Banking and Finance Law online service.

There has been insufficient literature focusing on the world-changing rise of Asian wealth. Private wealth in Asia is very substantial, with 33 per cent of the global population of high-net-worth individuals based in Asia. Yet, there is a dearth of legal analysis of Asian wealth, particularly by texts written in English. This collection aims to fill that gap, with chapters on legal issues in relation to Asian wealth transmission, investments in international real estate, familial disputes, family offices and private trust companies. A substantive section of this book also focuses on the changing legal context with chapters exploring trusts and cryptoassets, constructive trust, trustee's discretion and decision-making, changing regulatory environment and abuse of trust structures. This collection of essays on trusts and wealth management presents a focus on Asian wealth and the changing legal context, and follows the related publication, Trusts and Modern Wealth Management (Cambridge University Press, 2018).

A Practical Guide

Understanding Trade-Based Money Laundering

This book looks at how the law allows donors to establish perpetual charitable trusts, bearing the donor's name, and how it rewards and encourages the pursuit of post-mortem identity. It considers the policy questions raised by post-mortem identity. The law in this area is often complex and uncertain, and that legal unpredictably might deter donors from giving. Attention to post-mortem identity suggests that the law should be made as reliable and predictable as possible. This book theorises the motivation for post-mortem identity and works through its legal implications. It considers the even deeper questions in play and the particular problems which surround post-mortem identity. For example, a donor motivated by the prospect of legal immortality might be led towards bad charity. The donor might try to create a vain or prejudiced organisation. The book looks at the context of these issues, the policy challenges faced by the law, and the way in which the rules need to control and limit the donor's wishes.
