A Practical Guide to the Construction and Rectification of Wills and Trust Instruments - Second Edition
商品資訊
商品簡介
Private client practitioners dealing with estates and trusts routinely encounter drafting problems. These can be of many different types, from an ambiguous clause in a home-made will to a precedent clause included by mistake in a professionally prepared trust deed. They can also arise in very different contexts: while some can be resolved by agreement, others will result in a full-blown court battle, possibly accompanied by professional negligence proceedings against the draftsman.
This book is designed as a practical guide to overcoming drafting problems. As well as considering the court's modern approach to the construction and rectification of both wills and trust instruments, it includes practical guidance on how to try to deal with drafting problems by agreement and, if that fails, on how to ask the court to resolve them.
This new edition has been fully revised and updated to take account of recent developments in case law and procedure, including the completely rewritten Chancery Guide.
