Title : Cases and Materials on Equity and Trusts (Cases Materials)
Author : Paul Todd
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : An excellent book
This is an excellent book. I would advise that it should be used in conjunction with a "heavier-weight" textbook, such as Hanbury Martin; but as a cases and materials book, it is well worth investigating.

Title : The Living Trust: The Failproof Way to Pass Along Your Estate to Your Heirs Without Lawyers, Courts or the Probate System
Author : Henry W. Abts

After reading Abts book on the Living Trust, I followed the author's recommendations, collected ALL pertinent documents and now they are in one place. If you want peace of mind regarding how to protect your assets, this book is the one to guide you through the process. It is a priceless reference source on an on-going basis.

Title : Trusts Law: Text and Materials (Law in Context S.)
Author : Graham Moffat
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The most readable textbook on equity and trusts.
This is an excellent text dealing with the difficult and often dry area of equity and trusts. The book puts this area of law in context and so enables the student to understand the importance of the principles which are considered. In this respect it is preferable to a lot of other textbooks on the subject which deal with the issues in a much more dry manner. Although the book is "student friendly" it maintains a good level of academic depth. A wide selection of cases and materials are included. It should be suitable as a textbook for many courses on Equity and Trusts as it deals with a wide range of topics. It is highly recommended, in particular for those who are struggling with more traditional textbooks.

Author : Julian Knight
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
This is the best and most informative book in these three fields. I bought this along with the which?guide and this is far better. I am currently taking an estate through probate and this book is proving invaluable.
I only knew a little about probate and found this easy to use informative guide both accessible and written in plain English.

Title : The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations
Author : Robert A. Pearce
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A pleasure to read - detailed and well researched
I honestly believe that those who gave this book a bad review are either (a) not very bright and/or (b) have never actually read the book itself.
It is a well written and lucid book that was researched with vigour.
The book covers the essentials of Trust law.
1. A history of Equity
2. Certainty (of intention, subject matter and objects)
3. Formalities and Constitution
4. Purpose trusts (e.g. trusts for a charity)
5. Resulting and constructive trusts
6. Trustees powers and duties
7. Liability for breach of trusts
8. Tracing
I have read the whole book, and (I know most law students will find this hard to believe) I really did enjoy it.
It flows well, and I read 100 pages with ease.
It was my recommended textbook and I am glad it was.
There are a few typos (pages 397, 541, 512, 635)but who really cares?
I think this book, now in its third edition has an excellent balance between facts, cases, principles and criticism.
Furthermore it is easy to understand.
Ignore the bad reviews, they are absolutely wrong.
