Property, Trusts and Succession 5th ed

Property, Trusts and Succession provides full coverage of the property, trusts and succession parts of the LLB syllabus in Scottish universities within one convenient volume. The relevant rules of statute and common law are surveyed and frequent examples used, making this a highly practical and accessible text.

The fully revised Fifth Edition includes:

• Coverage of the Moveable Transactions (Scotland) Act 2023 and its implications for the laws of assignation and rights in security
• Consideration of the Trusts and Succession (Scotland) Act 2024, the most significant trusts legislation for over a century
• A new chapter on public law and landownership which covers issues such as planning, licensing and environmental law restrictions

While aimed primarily at undergraduates, this important title is also a useful source of reference to practitioners seeking an introduction to this area of the law.
