Drafting Trusts and Will Trusts in Singapore: A Modern Approach 2nd ed

This book is an invaluable reference for any serious practitioner needing information in the drafting of Singapore wills and trusts. It is a drafter’s handbook which illustrates the modern style of drafting found in other jurisdictions that can be beneficially used in Singapore.
