CG33000 | Trusts: introduction

The glossary at the end of the Trusts, Settlements and Estates Manual (TSEM) covers the most commonly met legal terms relating to trusts in England & Wales and Northern Ireland. Some Scottish terms are explained in the present manual.

The trust law of Northern Ireland is generally similar to that of England & Wales although there are separate statutory provisions in some cases.

Sweet & Maxwell’s Statutes Series, Property Law, which is reprinted most years, provides the current text of the important statutes for England & Wales dealing with trust law.
