Title : Land Law (Nutshell S.)
Author : William Howarth
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : College of Law student
This book is extremely helpful for the basics of the subject. The case law is helpful as it provides all of the leading cases in the main study areas. Unfortunately, it doesn't cover the new Land Registration Act which is now a major part of the course. Other than that, the book is excellent for revision in those weeks before exams!

Title : Last Will and Testament Kit
Author :
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Simple to Use
The pack arrives with a CD and a booklet on what is required. I found the booklet useful in determining what I needed to do and on the CD are all the forms that are required to make up your will. I should imagine the size of your estate will determine how comlex your will could be. For me this will do the job without the professional fees that could be incurred.

Title : The Law of Trusts (Butterworths Core Texts S.)
Author : James Penner
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Excellent analysis and very useful
This is a clear and informative guide to the law of trusts that is written in a far more accessible style than most trusts textbooks.
The night before my Equity exam at university, I glanced through this book (in quite a state of desperation!) and found clear, concise explanations to several concepts I had been unable to fathom all year. For a full explanation of the law, you may wish to turn to a weightier tome, but if you want to understand the key principles of trusts at degree level and have a reasonably short time to do it in, this probably your best option - it has just about the right level of detail to help you get to grips with stuff you will hopefully have time to read in more detail later...
Penner's style makes the book both straightforward and interesting (not an easy task when dealing with this area of the law!) and puts this text in the realms of the very, very useful.

Title : Trusts and Equity (Foundation Studies in Law S.)
Author : Richard Edwards
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Straightforward and easy to read
This is one of best textbooks on trusts and equity that I have found. Designed specifically for postgradute and first time law students, it is accessible and uncomplicated. The case law it includes is relevant and very up to date. Perhaps a little too uncritical with regards to cases, and any serious student will need to supplement it with casebooks and further reading, but it is an excellent book for anybody struggling to get to grips with trusts. It gives a good, basic background on any equity topic. If only all law textbooks were as readable as this!

Title : Parker and Mellows: 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 : Trusts Law: Text and Materials (Law in Context S.)
Author : Graham Moffat
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : excellent book that must read!!!
This book is very good with loads of detail case laws , well argued points and some very good brain- storming questions. VERY suitable for deeper understanding.
But this book is NOT good for rush revision before exam as too many details. Overall, it is a book that a law student must read if you want to get the best, the deepest picture of trust law.

Author : Vickie Schumacher
