This new edition of the authoritative Canadian treatise on trusts is both comprehensive and up to date. It examines every facet of the law of trusts in every jurisdiction in Canada, including:-

  • the nature of trusts under common law and civil law;
  • the creation and administration of express trusts;
  • trust termination;
  • conflict of laws,
  • including the Hague Convention on the Recognition of Trusts;
  • the variety of uses to which the trust is applied;
  • the law concerning remedial trusts (i.e. resulting and constructive trusts), especially in matrimonial law.
Structured for ease of use, this book clearly explains and explores a complex and increasingly important field of law.
