Trusts and Trustees: Their Successes and Successors

Mark Leeming (The University of Sydney) recently published, Trusts and Trustees: Their Successes and Successors, Australia Bar Review, 2023. Provided below is an Abstract:

This tenth John Lehane Memorial Lecture has three parts. The first contains some memories of John Lehane. The second concerns how some measures by which the success of the trust as an institution may be measured. The third addresses the relationship between former and successor trustee, including the consequences of death, the obligation to provide documents, and the right of indemnity. A theme of the address is the role of statute and its complex interaction with principles of the law of trusts.
