Making a will is something that, because of the reason why we need to do it, is something that is easily put off - yet can lead to huge problems with probate if you don't write one in time.
Writing a last will and testament (to use the proper phrase for it) isn't as complicated as it used to be, and there are now many places online why you can write a legal DIY one!
Title : The Law of Trusts (Butterworths Core Texts S.) Author : James Penner Rating : 5 Stars out of 5. Summary : Excellent bird's eye view of the law of trusts
Reading Penner is like reading a storybook. At some points, the reader might even forget that he/she is reading something that has heavy academic weight. Penner presents his materials in a breezy, easy to understand manner to those who are newcomers to the law of trust. This book is indispensible for anyone wishing to do well in the trusts exams, so get one before you regret it.
Title : Principles of Equity and the Law of Trusts (Principles of Law S.) Author : Alastair Hudson Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Comedy Genius
Briefly: Hudson's summaries at the beginning and end of each chapter are concise and comprehendable - a good starting point for seminar preparation or revision. His comedy comments (on various topics such as Sunderland Football club and Eddie Izzard) will also help to keep your spirits up. Hudson makes a tough subject slightly less daunting...
Title : The Modern Law of Trusts Author : David B. Parker Rating : 1 Stars out of 5. Summary : Who is this book written for?
This book is written in the style of a friendly guide to law rather than a textbook. This creates confusion as the book sets out to discuss in detail problems with trusts in the English common law but does so in a fudgy you know what I mean kind of a way. Discussion centres around conceptual, more abstract, aspects of trusts and equity but with inadequate reference to the technical nature of the law (you really need to be able to supply this for yourself). Worse still, Parker and Mellows do not address all issues relevant to law students and their tendancy to gloss over some of the more technical aspects of the law explains why their conclusions leave the reader feeling unsatisfied. I would only recommend this book to someone who has a good basic knowledge of trusts as a basis for discussion. It is not an accurate guide to the law and is likely to confuse the undergraduate and mentally damage the more general reader.
Title : A Step-by-step Guide to Wills and Probate Author : A.K. Biggs Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : all the basics you need to knwo..
this is a good all round guide to drafting wills and dealing with the difficult task of what to do after a death in terms of winding up an estate. It doesn't go into very complex will drafting but in that instance as the book suggests you would really need to get a solicitor involved. However, it does allow you to draft most types of wills and certainly explains the proceedure following death in a clear and concise manner.
Title : Land Law (Butterworths Core Texts S.) Author : K.J. Gray Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Butterworths core test on land law (2nd series)
Really good book and I found it easy to understand and it made land law as entertaining as it could be. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone doing a land law module!!!
Title : Equity and Trusts (Nutshells S.) Author : Angela Sydenham Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : A review of the Nutshells book on Equity and Trusts
I would definitely recommend this book to all those who are studying Equity. Unlike many legal text books, this one is written is such a way that it accessible to all, both the beginner and those who wish to clarify points on equity that they have studied. It provides the reader with a common sense approach to equity and while it can sometimes simplify some points of law, it generally provides a sufficiently detailed explanation of Equity and helps the reader to better understand this difficult subject. Another advantage to this book is that it does not saturate the reader with endless lists of cases, instead concentrating on the most important cases and providing explanations of all necessary facts in an accessible manner. In order for this book to be used as an easy reference guide while studying, the index is clear yet sufficiently detailed enabling you to find certain aspects of this area of law quickly and easily. In conclusion, this book is ideal as both a study guide and those who simply have an interest in the subject. While perhaps not detailed enough to be used as a textbook on its own, it provides a great reference point for any law student at an affordable and extremely reasonable price.
Title : Modern Equity Author : Harold Greville Hanbury Rating : 4 Stars out of 5. Summary : Excellent if you have to learn about this!
Having been recommended this book by my law tutor, it was never going to be a fascinating read. However, the broad narrative and the easy-ish to read text meant that taking notes was fairly simple. The definitive textbook for the student of the modern law of trusts.
