Drafting Trusts and Will Trusts in Australia offers both a wealth of valuable advice, helping you to understand and prepare your clients trust documents, and a comprehensive range of precedents. This book features chapters on key areas of trust law, including beneficiaries, trustees, trustees powers and general provisions of a trust. It also contains a number of precedents for both lifetime and will trusts, which appear in the text and on an accompanying CD-ROM. A unique addition to the Australian market, Drafting Trusts and Will Trusts in Australia reveals a fresh approach to creating documents. It is an essential reference for those practising in tax law, estate and succession planning, family law and property law."--Provided by publisher.
