Article on ‘Trusts: Weapons of Mass Injustice?’ A Response to the Critics

Andres Knobel recently posted an Article entitled, ‘Trusts: Weapons of Mass Injustice?’ A Response to the Critics, Wills, Trusts, & Estate Law eJournal (2017). Provided below is an abstract of the Article:

An editorial by the publication Trusts and Trustees and a paper by Jersey Finance criticised our paper “Trusts: Weapons of Mass Injustice?”, in particular regarding trust registration requirements and publicity, evidence on the abuse of trusts and whether current laws already address all potential abuses involving trusts. This paper offers a response to these criticisms and adds more examples on the involvement of trusts in grand corruption cases as well as comments about the legitimacy of using trusts to avoid taxes.
