The International Academy of Estate and Trust Law is a prestigious body that comprises leading estate and trusts lawyers from civilian and common law jurisdictions around the globe. Its membership - all experts in trusts, estate and inheritance law, and/or tax law - includes solicitors, barristers, notaires, judges, and law professors. The group''s proceedings manifest a comparative approach, offering perspectives on issues of direct and immediate concern for both civil and common law jurisdictions.
This volume records the May 2000 week-long conference in Berlin, which focused on four main topics:
• arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, in which the `estate'' meets the `family'';• transnational issues in testamentary matters, especially in light of the Hague Convention on Succession to Deceased Estates;• responsibility of tax advisers, the discussion of which concentrates on the development of a unified code of conduct; and• new developments in offshore trusts, in which the very nature of the interest of the beneficiary under a trust is being redefined and tested once again.This volume, the second published by Kluwer Law International, continues to engage the deep interest of researchers, academics, practitioners, law reform bodies, governmental groups and their advisers working in this complex and varied field of law. It makes available to a wide audience the analyses of academic and professional leaders on topics of immediate relevance.

More than merely an assembly of commentators and interpreters, the International Academy of Estate and Trust Law is a prestigious body that effects real change in courts, law reform commissions, and governmental agencies. Its membership-including solicitors, barristers, notaries , judges, and scholars, all experts in trusts, estate and inheritance law, and/or tax law–highlight the contrasts and comparisons between the pertinent laws of civil and common law jurisdictions.
This volume records the May 2001 conference in San Francisco, which focused on four main topics: the regulation of charitable organisations in major western countries; the rules governing capacity to enter into transactions affecting property; the ability of creditors to reach assets that are held on behalf of another; and the issue of testamentary freedom versus forced heirship. This yearbook, the third published by Kluwer Law International, signals a departure from earlier volumes in that the papers under the fourth topic are after-the-fact essays, reflecting arguments and points of view originally presented in a debate between the four authors. As always, this outstanding annual continues to offer perspectives on issues of direct and immediate concern for both civil law and common law jurisdictions, and to engage the deep interest of researchers, academics, practitioners, law reform bodies, governmental groups and their advisers working in this complex and varied field of law.
