This national resource includes discussion of trusts under the Québec Civil Code. Halsbury's Trusts gives practitioners a competitive advantage by explaining how to apply trust principles to different areas of practice.

    Topics in this national reference include:

  • Nature of trusts
  • Classification and characteristics of trusts
