Trust Code and Law Manual is a comprehensive compilation of statutes, cases, and commentary for planning, drafting, administering, and litigating trusts in Missouri. It provides author commentary on the current Missouri trust code (VAMS Chapter 456), cases annotating the code, and common-law principles constituting Missouri trust law. The work then continues with a treatment of the law of trusts approached from the perspective and organizational structure of the
Restatement of Trusts. It also includes trust-related Missouri statutes, including the Durable Power of Attorney Law, Nonprobate Transfers Law, and Principal and Income Act. The appendix includes:
- Uniform Fiduciaries Act
- Uniform Principal and Income Act (1997)
- Uniform Prudent Investor Act
- Uniform Testamentary Additions to Trusts Act (1991)
- Uniform Trustee's Powers Act
The convenient softbound format allows text to be fully integrated and recompiled each year for ease of use. Helpful finding aids include a table of laws and rules, a table of cases, and an index.
