Trusts In Common Law Canada

The new and expanded edition of "The Law of Trusts" by Hon. Eileen Gillese and Martha Milczynski has been revised to reflect all appellate authority decided since the publication of the first edition in1997. In addition, the book now makes reference to legislation in all Canadian provinces. Written in clear English and illustrated with many practical examples, it describes all aspects of the creation of trusts and their administration. Not only do they explore the origins of the trust in common law, the authors also provide insight into the recent growth in the use of trusts, including the huge expansion in the area of fiduciary relationships and provisions in the Quebec "Civil Code," which now allow the use of trusts in that province.

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; and 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.
