A multistate guide that covers how to set up and administer trusts in all fifty states. It enables the practitioner to keep abreast of the increasingly complex state rules that govern the establishment, maintenance and taxation of trusts and is of interest to the accountant and financial planner who makes provisions for his client's wealth management.

The book deals with the individual state rules for the creation of a trust, for appointing a trustee (including the qualifications that the trustee must have and the fiduciary duties that the trustee will owe to the grantor and the beneficiaries). The book discusses state requirements for modifying or revoking the trust. It covers the issues that arise if the grantor wishes to move the situs of the trust from one state to another. The permissible duration of a trust is also considered as is the Rule Against Perpetuities in states where this is still an issue.

This publication also discusses the accounting aspects of maintaining a trust from the state point of view, including creditor's rights in a trust, the different distribution standards in trust agreements, the effect of the Uniform Principal and Income Act (as adopted by each individual state), investment standards and total return trusts.

Also included is a discussion of the different state income tax rules, including forms and instructions for each state.

Available: February 2012

Presents a succinct explanation of both state and local taxes, and it is designed as a quick reference work, giving a general picture of the state tax laws and regulations and highlighting the significant cases and administrative rulings.

Family and succession law are tightly bound together. Succession law is usually based on kindred relationships as established by family law. The trends established in the marital property laws and succession laws are often a result of developments in family law.

Equality of spouses and of all children, regardless of their descent, is not without consequences for marital property laws and succession law. Therefore, this comprehensive comparative looseleaf set covers family law together with marital property law and succession law. In addition to the national monographs this subset of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws currently includes a monograph for the European Union.

This set is primarily intended for judges, notaries, lawyers and registrars of civil status who find themselves having to apply foreign laws as a result of applicable international private law. However, it is also of great value to academics and researchers, for whom it stimulates comparative studies by providing the necessary basic materials of family and succession law.

For each country, an introduction presents the requisite background knowledge for understanding the principles of criminal justice and then proceeds to a detailed examination of substantive criminal law: its general principles, the principles of criminal responsibility or liability and the grounds for the justification of criminal offences.

A third part is focused upon criminal procedure in each country: the general characteristics of the procedure, the organization of investigation, pre-trial proceedings, trial stage and appeals. A final part covers the execution and extinction of the sanctions.

Forthcoming international monographs will relate to the European Convention on Human Rights, the jurisprudence of the European Court and the European Commission of Human Rights, the mutual assistance treaties in criminal matters and the criminal law aspects of the European Union.
