Professor A M Honoré’s standard text was first published in 1966. This fifth edition incorporates changes since the fourth edition was published in 1992.
The work pays particular attention to the needs of practitioners and trustees. It describes the life of a trust from its formation to its dissolution and deals in turn with the various problems, such as security, investment, accounts, costs and taxation, which a trustee is likely to encounter.
There is also a full account of the rights of the trust beneficiary and a treatment of the problems raised by trusts in the conflict of laws.
