Product description

Written for both novices and veterans, Trusts in Common-Law Canada, 4th Edition introduces readers to the foundations of trust law and provides an up-to-date exposition and analysis of the legislation and case law that have shaped the Canadian trust landscape.

The book is prepared logically and written in an accessible and easy-to-understand way: as a result, readers can intuitively grasp complex concepts, doctrines and principles. Perhaps most valuable are the teaching tools included in every section:

  • Learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter identify the concepts and information the reader can expect to learn
  • Learning outcomes at the end of each chapter summarize key learning points
  • Self-assessment questions at the end of each chapter allow readers to test their knowledge of the material

What’s New in the 4th Edition

  • Up-to-date key legislative changes and case law since the previous edition published in 2019

Who Should Read This Book

  • Lawyers who are dealing with trusts as it is a useful, up-to-date guide for navigating issues that regularly arise in matters related to the law of trusts
  • Law firms, associations and libraries as it features content on the essential elements of a trust that would be beneficial for articling students, new calls, lawyers and judges
  • Law professors and law students as it repeats fundamental doctrines and draws connections between complex legal concepts
