Drafting Trusts and Will Trusts in the Channel Islands

By James Kessler QC and Paul Matthams

This book arose out of the prizewinning English text Drafting Trusts & Will Trusts by James Kessler, Q.C. There are significant differences between the trust law of the Channel Islands and England. This is therefore a wholly Channel Island version of the English text and will be essential to anyone drafting or advising on trusts and wills in the Channel Islands.

Here is information on how to order Drafting Trusts and Will Trusts in the Channel Islands and other books by James Kessler QC.
