WILEY Family Trusts: A Guide for Beneficiaries, Trustees, Trust Protectors, and Trust Creators

Very good packing but the delivery took time from the date of order. Other than that, all good.

easy to read and understand

There are very few books that can be found that explain the trustee beneficiary relationship in terms that can be easily followed by readers who are not lawyers or otherwise involved as professionals in the trust industry. This is one of the few and that fact alone will make this a special and popular book. In theory it is often said that trusts are a relationship but what does that mean and how do you ensure that it is a good relationship? You could almost go as far as saying that Family Trusts, a Guide is a "relationship tool book" that aims to point the way to good relationships in the trust context and provides very practical actionable exercises and approaches. Because of this I actually see this as also being a book about the topic of family governance, because the relationship tools that it provides can be used in other situations where family members have to work with each other. Another area where the book is very up to date with international trusts practice is that it does talk in detail about the protector role and has useful suggestions on how to think about protectors. The discussion of the distribution function in trusts is new and innovative. I recommend the book to international readers who are involved in the structuring, & administration of trusts, as well as for trust settlors, beneficiaries and protectors, and of course trustees and trust officers.
