The use of testamentary trusts is becoming an important part of estate planning. As a result, students who want to make a living as probate attorneys will need to know how trusts fit into estate planning. In addition, bar examiners realize that it is important for students to have a basic knowledge of trust law. That realization will result in bar examination questions that test that knowledge. This book is designed for use as a supplementary text for a course on wills and trusts and the primary text in a seminar or course exploring the law of trusts.

"The fourth edition of The Law of Trusts: A Contextual Approach continues to provide a comprehensive overview of the various contexts in which trusts may be employed. The development of the law of express trusts and trusts by operation of law is reviewed, including analysis of the impact that this area of law has had on various aspects of Canadian jurisprudence and social policy. This new edition includes an updated chapter on fiduciary obligations and continues to look at important issues such as trusts in Quebec, the use of trusts in the environmental and commercial contexts, as well as the fiduciary obligations that the federal government owes to Indigenous peoples."--

This latest edition of Moffat's Trusts Law has been fully revised and updated to cover recent statutory developments and explores the impact of a wealth of new cases including the Supreme Court decisions in Pitt v. Holt (2013), FHR European Ventures v. Cedar Capital Partners (2014) and Williams v. Central Bank of Nigeria (2014). It has been restructured to incorporate a new chapter on the internationalisation of the trust which provides an understanding of the new directions being taken in the areas of trust law and equitable remedies. Supplementary material includes an online chapter on occupational pension schemes. With suggestions for further reading guiding the student to contemporary debates, this leading textbook retains its hallmark combination of a contextualized approach and a commercial focus, and remains the serious student's textbook of choice.
