The Law of Trusts is the first text devoted to this topic to be published in Canada since 1982. Written in clear English and illustrated with many practical examples, it describes all aspects of the creation of trusts and their administration. Not only does she explore the origins of the trust in common law, Professor Gillese also provides insight into the recent growth in the use of trusts, including the huge expansion in the area of fiduciary relationships and the recent changes to the Quebec Civil Code, which now allow the use of trusts in that province.
