This book is designed for law school courses covering trusts. The cases, problems, and questions are drawn extensively from Texas materials and attempt to provide the student with a comprehensive understanding of how trust creation, administration, and enforcement are handled in Texas. Resulting trusts, constructive trusts, and trust accounts are also discussed.

This work has long been recognized as one of the most thorough and perceptive treatments of modern English trust law. As a textbook combined with a sourcebook, it not only offers two books for the price of one, but also illuminates the topics covered by a careful arrangement of text and materials. The previous edition was regularly judicially cited in Australia and New Zealand, and recently in England. This edition takes into account major case law and legislative developments. It also provides questions and problems posed at the end of each chapter to promote analysis and discussion.

With its unique contextual emphasis and authoritative commentary, Trusts Law: Text and Materials is a book that no serious undergraduate on trust law courses can afford to be without. The book is divided into four main parts: trusts and the preservation of family wealth; trusts and family breakdown; trusts and commerce; and trusts and non-profit activity. Within each of these parts, leading cases, statutes, and historical and research materials are placed alongside the narrative of the author's text to give emphasis both to general theories of trust concepts and to the practical operation of trusts. Attention is also given to important themes such as the developing relationship between trusts law and other areas of private law such as the Law of Restitution. This new edition takes account of all relevant judicial and legislative developments since the third edition, and expands discussion of key themes in current developments of the law.
