THE TRUST PLAYBOOK

Shapiro A: THE TRUST PLAYBOOK

From Title Transfer to Tax Freeze - The Advanced Trust Manual

If you want to know more about living trusts, this book is here to help. Make Your Living Trust gives you straightforward and easy-to-understand information about how living trusts: <ul> <li>compare to wills</li> <li>pass property to beneficiaries without probate</li> <li>provide for minor children, and</li> <li>help protect against unexpected incapacity.</li> </ul> You might have heard about living trusts and have a general sense that you should make one. But if you're like most people, you're not exactly sure why or how to do it. If this sounds like you, Make Your Living Trust provides the information and support you need to make informed estate planning decisions. For many people, living trusts are a useful tool to keep their property out of probate. This makes a lot of sense because probate often makes the process of wrapping up an estate more complicated and expensive than it needs to be. And there are other reasons to make a living trust -- a living trust allows you to authorize someone to take care of your property in case of incapacity, and (unlike wills) living trusts keep your personal business private. That said, not everyone needs a living trust. Many people need only a will and a durable power of attorney. Others might use those in conjunction with pay-on-death accounts or transfer-on-death deeds. Compared to other estate planning tools, living trusts can be more expensive to create and more complicated to live with. So, you don't want to go through the trouble and expense of making one if you don't need to. Make Your Living Trust helps you think through these and many other trust-related issues. For example, it helps you weigh the pros and cons of making a living trust yourself versus having an attorney draw one up. It also covers questions that might come up as you make a living trust (with or without a lawyer), like: <ul> <li>What types of property work well in a living trust?</li> <li>Can you and your spouse make a living trust together?</li> <li>What is the role of a successor trustee?</li> <li>Who decides when minor children receive their inheritance?</li> <li>How do you transfer property into your living trust?</li> <li>What makes a living trust legal?</li> <li>Where should you store your living trust?</li> <li>Do you have to register your trust or share it with your family?</li> <li>What other estate planning documents might you need?</li> </ul> Make Your Living Trust can help with all of this and more. It will be your steady companion as you learn about wills and trusts and start to craft your estate plan.

Asia-Pacific Trusts Law, Volume 3

Studien zum ausländischen und internationalen Privatrecht

If a deceased person has multiple heirs, the law has to answer a number of important questions: Who may administer, take possession of and use the deceased's assets and to what extent? Who is liable for the debts left by the deceased and to what extent, and to whom must the deceased's creditors turn? As substantive inheritance law has so far been spared fundamental standardization, European countries answer these questions differently. The German community of heirs was essentially developed from that of Prussian land law. Today, it presents itself as a community of joint heirs in which the co-heirs are generally treated as a collective until the estate is divided. Although the Italian Codice civile of the 19th century goes back to the Code Napoléon, it was also significantly influenced by Austrian law and was reissued in 1942. Today, the comunione ereditaria presents itself as a hybrid form, in which the legal power of the individual heir still extends further than in Austria, but his responsibility for the liabilities of the estate has also increased. On the one hand, this work examines the question as to which historical assessments have given the community of heirs of the German Civil Code and that of the Italian Civil Code their current forms and, on the other hand, sheds light on the currently applicable German and Italian law.

Landmark Cases

Part of the iconic Landmark Cases series, this book brings the most significant cases in charity law together for the first time. More than four hundred years have passed since the Statute of Charitable Uses of 1601, whose Preamble set out a list of charitable purposes which has formed the basis of the modern legal definition of charity. This book explores the substantial body of judge-made rules and principles developed since then, highlighting a carefully curated selection of the landmark cases which have shaped charity law. Each chapter analyses one or more judicial decisions, setting them in their historical context, explaining their contemporary importance, and considering their future relevance. The selected cases cover a broad range of topics. Some go to the heart of what it means to be a charity, elucidating charity's legal definition and public benefit requirement. Others demonstrate how charity law has been shaped by its interaction with other bodies of law, including trust law, company law and equality law, and by emerging tensions between trustees' overriding duty to further the charity's purposes and broader moral obligations or ethical considerations. The book has a core focus on English precedents, but the cases are touchstones in many jurisdictions. Our contributors therefore include scholars, judges and practitioners from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore, as well as from the UK. The result is a book that sheds new light on the application and development of charity law's defining rules and principles across the common law world.

Denise Wiedemann explores the individual and social meanings of housing and their reflection in inheritance and matrimonial property law. She combines insights from social history and social psychology on the changing significance of housing with accounts of legal developments in foreign jurisdictions and contrasts them with key doctrinal choices in German law. Methodologically, the author demonstrates how extra-legal knowledge can do more than merely inform legal policy debates or be supplemented by comparative-law observations; it can also lead to deeper questions about legal doctrine, its underlying structures, and the forces that drive or resist change. Accordingly, the study's findings operate on several levels. The stronger emphasis on individual rather than collective experiences of housing in the process through which insights from social psychology were received and translated into legal policy contributed to the fact that, particularly in German inheritance law, the home was initially not accorded any special significance. From a doctrinal perspective, Denise Wiedemann reconstructs the principles of equal treatment of assets and of the state's neutrality in matters of inheritance as factors explaining the greater resistance of German inheritance law to societal change.

Hart Studies in Private Law

This innovative study provides a comprehensive exposition of the unique function, requirements, ambit, and justification of resulting trusts in Anglo-Australian law. It addresses how major resulting trust developments in other common law and civil law jurisdictions around the world can be understood in light of the analysis. The analysis goes further to explore the impacts on the private international law dimension of resulting trusts. The book will make compelling reading for private lawyers in the common law world, offering something truly new to the literature in the field.

Rationalising Resulting Trusts

Rescission is the principal mechanism by which voluntarily assumed obligations and transactions are unwound. It is important to a range of commercial and non-commercial transactions and is raised regularly before courts at all levels. Despite this prevalence, the law on rescission remains poorly understood and riddled with controversies. 

Issues in the Law of Rescission brings together leading academics to tackle some of the most challenging and pressing issues facing the law of rescission. Across 11 chapters, it addresses theoretical issues, such as the proper structure of rescission, the justification for powers to rescind, and rescission's relationship to the law of unjust enrichment. The various chapters also offer guidance on specific doctrinal issues, ranging from the grounds of rescission to practical difficulties in establishing the grounds, bars to rescission, rescission in the context of corporate transacting, fiduciary relationships, and gift-giving, and the proprietary consequences of rescission. 

The chapters carefully set out the existing law, critique difficult decisions, and chart a path forward, offering guidance on how future disputes should be resolved. With fresh and compelling arguments for what the law is and how open questions ought to be resolved, Issues in the Law of Rescission will form an essential part of any commercial lawyer's library.
