	Overview of the Delaware Trust
		The significant benefits available under the Delaware law must be understood in the context of the prevailing U.S. law and the asset protection strategies which are currently available.
		An individual establishing a trust in one of these jurisdictions can be a beneficiary of the trust and all of the assets will still be protected by law from any potential claim.
		Because of these progressive laws and the desire to accomplish asset protection goals the popularity of the offshore asset protection trust has grown significantly within the past few years.

	Trust law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strictly speaking, an offshore trust is a trust which is resident in any jurisdiction other than that in which the settlor is resident.
		A resulting trust is the form of implied trust which occurs where a trust fails, wholly or in part, as a result of which the settlor becomes entitled to the assets.
		The term "grantor trust" also has a special meaning in tax law: a trust in which the Federal income tax consequences of the trust's investment activities are entirely the responsibility of the settlor or another individual who has unfettered power to take out all the assets.

	Trust Law in Canada: An Introduction
		And yet, the law of trusts in Canada allows so many Canadians to imaginatively and safely give effect to their legal wishes, deftly leaving assets out of the hands of the incompetent, irresponsible or youth yet leaving them the benefit of those assets all the same.
		An oddity of the law of trusts is that once the subject matter of the trust is conveyed to the trustee, the rights of property with regards to the subject matter are split between the trustee and the beneficiary.
		Equity is a branch of English law which developed in England to impose fairness or "equity" upon the common law, which is traditionally rigidly enforced without regard to the "fairness" of the application of the law.

	Antitrust Law
		Trusts took their name from the quite legal device of business incorporation called trusteeship, which consolidated control of industries by transferring stock in exchange for trust certificates.
		Rejecting a challenge to a sugar trust that controlled over 98 percent of the nation's sugar refining capacity, the Court held that manufacturing was not interstate commerce.
		Without attaching criminal penalties, the law provided that "unfair methods of competition in or affecting commerce, and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce are hereby declared illegal." This was more than a symbolic attempt to buttress the Sherman Act.

	Law and Society Trust (Sri Lanka)
		The Trust has taken a leading role in promoting co-operation between government and society within South Asia on questions relating to human rights, democracy and minority protection and has participated in initiatives to develop a global intellectual and policy agenda.
		The Law and Society Trust was set up in Colombo in 1982 to initiate studies and activities on law, its processes and institutions and was subsequently incorporated in 1992 under the Companies Act No. 17 of 1982.
		The Trust also utilises law as a resource in the battle against underdevelopment and poverty, and is involved in the organization of a series of programmes to improve access to the mechanisms of justice, as well as programmes aimed at members of the legal community, to use law as a tool for social change.

		Native groups, represented by the environmental law firm Earthjustice, fought to restore the streams and their traditional uses, while suburban developers and their lawyers fought to keep the water flowing through the Waiahole Ditch for use on golf courses, and for condominiums and new hotels.
		Thus the notion of "sovereign" property was born, and with sovereignty under the Public Trust Doctrine came the inescapable duty of state stewardship, a concept that survives today in all manifestations of the doctrine.
		The idea of the public trust was synonymous with America's promise of freedom, and several states eventually wrote some form of the ancient code directly into their constitutions.

	Antitrust - Wex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Trusts and monopolies are concentrations of wealth in the hands of a few.
		Such conglomerations of economic resources are thought to be injurious to the public and individuals because such trusts minimize, if not obliterate normal marketplace competition, and yield undesirable price controls.
		To prevent trusts from creating restraints on trade or commerce and reducing competition, Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/ch1.html) in 1890.

	MSBA.org - Estate and Trust Law
		A living trust can also be useful if a person who is in poor health, or who does not want to be bothered with investment decisions, wants someone else to manage his or her assets.
		However, immediate distribution of trust assets generally will not be possible if, for example, the trust is responsible for paying the grantor’s debts, funeral expenses, legal fees, or death taxes, or if assets of the trust must be appraised for the federal or state estate or inheritance taxes.
		Because a grantor of a revocable trust may alter or revoke the trust at any time prior to death, such assets may be subject to the right of election of a surviving spouse.

		Because the trust is revocable until the grantor's death, she can change any part of the trust as often as she likes.
		You can still control the trust assets as if they were your own, but when you die, you do not "own" anything in your trust and therefore, you avoid probate for the assets placed into the trust.
		For a basic shared trust there are three schedules: one for property owned solely by the wife; one for property owned solely by the husband; and one for property owned jointly by the husband and wife.

	SSRN-Trust Law, Corporate Law, and Capital Market Efficiency by Robert Sitkoff
		In both the publicly-traded corporation and the private donative trust a crucial task is to minimize the agency costs that arise from the separation of risk-bearing and management.
		Thus, even more than that of close corporations, the law and study of private trusts offers an illuminating counterfactual - a control, as it were - for a playful thought experiment about the importance of capital market efficiency to the law and study of public corporations.
		The animating idea for this essay is that many of the differences on the agency costs frontier between the public corporation and the private donative trust can be roughly attributed to their relative positions in modern capital markets and the related disparity in their residual claimants' ease of exit.

		Fisher successfully championed a controversial interpretation of trust law that, according to some experts, would radically change existing law, discourage the creation of charitable trusts and push trustees into impossible conflicts.
		Fisher asserted in court papers that "the ultimate beneficiary of all charitable trusts is the general public to whom the social and economic advantages of the trusts accrue."
		This argument turns trust law on its head, according to lead counsel for the Hershey Trust, Jack Stover, a partner in the Harrisburg, Pa., office of Pittsburgh's Buchanan Ingersoll.

	Delaware Trust (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		If you move the trust to Delaware, the same capital gain and accumulated ordinary income are not subject to state income tax.
		In practical terms, it means the funds inside a dynasty trust will grow at a much greater rate than a comparable sum of money held outside of a trust, because the trust won't be subject to additional estate tax or generation skipping transfer tax.
		This is essentially a device that allows the grantor to retain an interest in the income and principal from the trust under certain defined circumstances and yet creditors cannot reach it to satisfy claims.

	SSRN-An Agency Costs Theory of Trust Law by Robert Sitkoff
		The normative claim is that the law should minimize the agency costs inherent in locating managerial authority with the trustee and the residual claim with the beneficiaries, but only to the extent that doing so is consistent with the ex ante instructions of the settlor.
		Accordingly, the use of the private trust triggers a temporal agency problem (whether the trustee will remain loyal to the settlor’s original wishes) in addition to the usual agency problem that arises when risk-bearing and management are separated (whether the trustee/manager will act in the best interests of the beneficiaries/residual claimants).
		This Article draws on the economics of the principal-agent problem and the theory of the firm, and it engages the ongoing debate about whether trust law is closer to property law or contract law.

	SSRN-Law and Trust by Frank Cross
		Trust is a complicated concept, which contains both rational cognitive and emotional affective aspects.
		While the law has been criticized by many social scientific researchers for undermining affective trust, this theory is a misguided one.
		After examining the existing literature on the association of law and trust, I conduct cross-country research showing that the concepts are not antagonistic but tend to go together.
