Loring and Rounds: A Trustee's Handbook (2022) is an invaluable practical resource that addresses the rights, duties, and obligations of the parties once the trustee takes title to trust property. This Handbook steers you through this complex field, providing property owners with a mechanism for seeing to the needs of beneficiaries in cost-effective, creative, efficient, and flexible ways. Loring and Rounds: A Trustee's Handbook (2022) is a handy, ready reference, and a gateway to the treatises, restatements, law review articles, uniform statutes, and cases you need to know.
This fully integrated and bound volume of the Handbook brings you up to date on the latest cases, statutes, and developments, as well as new or updated discussion of topics as follow:
The Handbook continues the lengthy process of pruning some of the deadwood; significant exposition has been cut, revised, or combined. In sum, the Handbook is now even leaner, meaner, and more usable than ever.
In addition, numerous new cases and secondary sources have been added. These include the following:
In the 2022 Edition, there are 91 judicial-decision references and 186 footnotes that were not in the 2021 Edition. Forty pre-existing footnotes have been revised along with their accompanying texts. There has been a major across-the-board expansion, re-organization, renovation, consolidation, coordination, and updating of the content devoted to the intersection of trust law and constitutional (U.S.) law. We have, for example, opened up a whole new section devoted entirely to relevant taking and due process jurisprudence. See §5.3.1A and its sub-sections. The Handbook's treatment of the Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT) has been beefed up and consolidated in §9.28. While the Handbook has had much to say about the equitable doctrine of unclean hands as it pertains to trustee conduct, there has been little on its applicability to beneficiary conduct. This oversight has been corrected. See §§ 5.5 & 7.1.9. All this, and much more is included in the 2022 Edition of the Handbook.
