A New Publication - Trusts

By Lawyers has published a new publication: Trusts.

With a comprehensive commentary and precedents, the Trusts publication deals with establishing a new trust, amending an existing trust, and bringing a trust to an end through vesting or termination.

The publication covers the various types of trust structures, including:

• discretionary trusts;
• bare trusts;
• interest in possession trusts; and
• vulnerable beneficiary trusts.

The commentary discusses important issues affecting the use of trusts including:

• the financial planning and asset protection merits of different trust structures;
• the rights and obligations of beneficiaries and trustees, including corporate trustees;
• taxation requirements including income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax; and
• dispute resolution.

The matter plan provides access to the many essential precedents as well as the everyday precedents necessary to run a trust matter efficiently. The precedents include:

• a discretionary trust deed;
• a bare trust deed;
• an interest in possession trust deed; and
• a vulnerable beneficiary trust deed.

The new Trusts publication is available now through the Guides & Precedents button in a LEAP matter.
