Drafting Trusts and Will Trusts in Singapore

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