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 : Commentary and Cases on the Law of Trusts and Equitable Remedies
Author : Joseph Arnold Nathan
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The complete Trust textbook
Professor Hayton's book is the trust bible. It is thorough, challenging and will help develop an understanding of trusts which will be invaluable for the exam. If at times it is a difficult book it is only because trusts is a hard area of law. The great advantage of Hayton's book is that it is constantly predicting where the law is going and, given his influence in the world of equity, this is probably a self fulfilling prophesy! The materials are carefully selected and explained. I would recomend supplementing the book with another, such as Parker and Mellows. Hayton is infinitely more thought provoking but a lighter trusts guide will perhaps enable the reader to understand Hayton better. Having used Hayton all year I believe my mind has developed as a result of the book and I can appraoch the exams with confidence! Remember, there are no short cuts with trust law. This is not poncing around on the periphery with human rights and so forth but it is the cold black and white ink of the law. And no-one in the world knows more about trusts than David Hayton, so buy this book!

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.

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.

Author : Gudrun M. Nickel
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The Best and Simplest to Use on How to Probate an Estate
How to Probate an Estate in Florida is bar far the best, most comprehensive and simplest manual for the layman and lawyer alike. Ms. Nickel has very carefully studied the provisions of The Florida Probate Code and The Florida Rules of Probate Procedure and presented critical, vital information to her readers. In addition, Ms. Nickel has developed easy-to-use and time-tested forms, keyed to the relevant provisions of Florida Probate Law, that are extremely useful to lawyers, heirs, executors of estates and trustees.
How to Probate an Estate in Florida is a much better value than many other books dealing with Florida Probate Law. Further, Ms. Nickel is not only an experienced attorney, but a very caring advocate. Her experience in consumer law, mortgage foreclosure defense and probate law is just great! She has no equals!
In my opinion, when it comes to How to Probate an Estate in Florida, I would say: Buy it; read it; and use it. You'll be glad you did!

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.
