Title : Cases and Materials on Equity and Trusts
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 : Wills, Administration and Taxation: A Practical Guide
Author : John; King Barlow
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : An invaluable reference book
I am a professional Will Writer and whenever I am stuck I can turn to my good old Barlow, King and King for the answer. It has yet to be beaten. The index is comprehensive and imaginatively laid out and the paragraph numbering make it an easy book to get around.

Title : The Self-help Guide to Managing Death and Probate: Manage the Legal and Financial Side of Death Yourself
Author : Gordon Bowley
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Death Probate - a self help guide
Simple and practical guide to an extremely complex and emotive subject. It will certainly assist an individual to deal with a simple estate without using the services of a solicitor. The example letters at the back are straightforward and easy to adapt. The writer clearly has used his lengthy experience in this area of the law to excellent effect for the benefit of people who do not possess his legal knowledge and expertise in such matters. Well done Mr. Bowley

Title : Land Law (Butterworths Core Texts S.)
Author : K.J. Gray
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Wonderful Book
I brought this book when I was studying land law last year when at the time I was probably going to get a 3rd in the unit because I found all other land law books so difficult to understand.
This book is simplified but with enough depth to cover it perfectly and it demonstrates case law and statutory authority very clearly. I read this a month before my exam and went up two grades as I suddenly understood everything.
This book is honestly one of the best law books I have ever read, and the chapters are so well structured that they even demonstrate to you how best to view that legal problems, which is very good for problems and essay questions.
If I were to start my course again I would but this book and read it before lectures as you can't get anything clearer.

Title : The 60 Minute Estate Planner: Fast and Easy Illustrated Plans to Save Taxes, Avoid Probate and Maximise Inheritance
Author : Sandy Kraemer
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Complete summary, but little practical information
Sandy seems to cover all the bases, but the language is a bit too dense for the beginning reader, and there is little to no practical information about how to deal with a trust/trustee once the program is implemented. For example, how does a trust limit ones freedom of action wrt ones assets, before the first death as well as after. After reading, I still couldn't decide if I wanted a trust or not.

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 : Land Law (Nutshell S.)
Author : William Howarth
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Excellent Book for an Overview of Land Law
This book gives the reader a detailed overview of Land Law. It's an excellent prep tool for tutorials, but it really shines when used for revision. It covers all the main areas providing supporting cases and giving the key points to know for the exams. This book is a must that can be built on during the year, and used as a succinct and relevant refresher nearer exam time. Buy It - you won't be sorry.
