By James Kessler QC and Michael Flynn
This book arose out of the prizewinning English text Drafting Trusts & Will Trusts by James Kessler, Q.C. Australia’s trust law originated in England, and many principles remain the same. However, there are some significant differences in trust laws in Australia, and a completely different tax environment. This is therefore a wholly Australian version of the English text.
