A Practitioner's Guide to Beneficiaries' Actions

Endorsed by the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), and uniquely aimed at providing practical explanations of the law relating to trustees' powers and duties in the context of risk management and dispute resolution, this handbook deals with contentious issues in trusts and estates from the perspective of the beneficiary. It offers clarity, practicality and advice on the best way to proceed when your client is a beneficiary of a trust where losses or other problems are occurring, or a trustee faced with difficulties or disputes involving beneficiaries. Also includes procedural information, precedents and case notes, with practical guidelines on the appropriate procedures for resolving disputes either through the courts or using mediation or other forms of dispute resolution.
