Testamentary Trusts: Strategies and Precedents, 4th edition

Testamentary Trusts: Strategies and Precedents 4th edition aims to provide a system for dealing with what has always been a very complicated and difficult problem: modifying a discretionary testamentary trust precedent to accommodate the widely different family circumstances and testamentary wishes which testators present to the drafter. By using this text, it is intended that drafters will not only be able to draft both simple and complex discretionary testamentary trust wills but also be able to develop, plan and implement advanced estate planning strategies that can be used in tandem with the Model Testamentary Trust will.

Features

• Describes a flexible and modular system that makes it easy to use and produce a good discretionary testamentary trust (DTT)

• Contains a representative sample of widely different family situations for which a testator may wish to provide as well as flexible alternative clauses
