Product Description

Wills, Administration and Taxation Law and Practice applies a practical approach to a subject which forms a large part of the work of many solicitors. It deals comprehensively with tax considerations, the substantive law and also covers drafting, probate practice and procedure. To assist the reader, a selection of useful precedents and examples of frequently used forms are provided. Each section uses worked examples to present a clear, practical picture of the operation of the law. Where appropriate, relevant taxation provisions are fully discussed. The ninth edition covers all key case law and covers the multitude of changes in practice resulting from the Finance Act 2006, including changes to the treatment of trusts, as well as those resulting from the Civil Partnership Act 2004 and Gender Recognition Act 2004. The work considers the implications of the inheritance tax transferable nil rate band and discusses the impact of the Third Money Laundering Directive on private client practitioners. In addition, Wills, Administration and Taxation Law and Practice is now supported by online updates available at www.sweetandmaxwell.co.uk/academic.

An invaluable reference book
I am a professional Will Writer and whenever I am stuck I can turn to my good old Barlow, King and King for the answer. It has yet to be beaten. The index is comprehensive and imaginatively laid out and the paragraph numbering make it an easy book to get around.
