Title : Last Will Testament Kit
Author :
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Clear, Simple and saved me money!
I have used various Law Pack guides in the past to avoid using Solicitors if I can. My wife and I needed to make our wills, and baulked at the cost quoted by our local solicitor.
For less than a tenner we were able to construct wills exactly as we required, following the excellent instructions. For most people, like us, making a will need not be a complicated business, and this pack is perfect.
You should make a will. I recommend you use this pack.
Title : The Complete Book of Trusts
Author : Martin Shenkman
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The Complete Book of Trusts is Complete!
Martin Shankman gives a very comprehensive and extremely detailed treatment of trusts in The Complete Book of Trusts. Marti gives numerous examples, suggested clauses, and pointers in how to best use trusts. Further, Marti gives the reader suggestions on how to broach certain estate planning and trust strategies subjects to one's attorney.
I must, in all fairness, say to the reader that this is not a book that will show you how to prapare your own trust. If the reader desires such a book, perhaps he/she should look elsewhere. There are quite a few books that will show the reader how to draft a legally valid living trust. I especially like the one published by Nolo Press which is available right here at amazon.com. However, if the reader would prefer to have a very broad, comprehensive, detailed and in-depth discussion of the subject of trusts, that is very readable and user-friendly, I would very highly recommend Marti Shankman's The Complete Book of Trusts without any reservation whatsoever.
In sum, The Complete Book of Trust is a great value. So, here is what I have to say: buy it; read it; and use it by bringing the subjects relevant to your own estate planning concerns, to your attorney's attention; so that you can accomplish your very own estate planning goals.

Title : The Law of Trusts and Equitable Obligations
Author : Robert A. Pearce
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Fantastic book
This book is fantastic. It is hard to find a book to recommend to students that has the depth of analysis necessary for a third year topic, but outlines the various rules and principles for a broad and accurate understanding of the application of trusts. Bear in mind that this is a text book, not a cases and materials book. It is clear, well expressed, detailed, and provides sufficient academic analysis to benefit the third year student. Diagrams are used to for those who learn visually, but are not intrinsic to the text, so can be ignored if the reader wishes. My students tend to favour this book above others. Negatives: Some chapters are a little over-long and the index is appalling.
Title : Trusts Law: Text and Materials (Law in Context S.)
Author : Graham Moffat
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Moffat Equity and Trusts
This book is extremely accessible and makes an extremely hard topic in law a great deal easier to understand. The writer avoids fancy words, which can often be confusing, and sticks to the relevant information which results in commendable clarity.
This book was a great help to me during the second year of my law degree and I would recommend it to any undergraduate.

Title : Trusts (Nutshell 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.
