Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of the law of property in Switzerland deals with the issues related to rights and interests in all kinds of property and assets – immovable, movable, and personal property; how property rights are acquired; fiduciary mechanisms; and security considerations. Lawyers who handle transnational disputes and other matters concerning property will appreciate the explanation of specific terminology, application, and procedure. An introduction outlining the essential legal, cultural, and historical considerations affecting property is followed by a discussion of the various types of property. Further analysis describes how and to what extent legal subjects can have or obtain rights and interests in each type. The coverage includes tangible and intangible property, varying degrees of interest, and the various ways in which property is transferred, including the ramifications of appropriation, expropriation, and insolvency. Facts are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. The book includes ample references to doctrine and cases, as well as to relevant international treaties and conventions. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for any practitioner faced with a property-related matter. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Switzerland will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative property law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the common belief that they are found only in the common law tradition, trusts have long been known in mixed jurisdictions even where they have a civilian law of property. Trusts have now been introduced by legislation in a number of civilian jurisdictions, such as France and China. Other recent developments include the reception of foreign trusts through private international law in Italy and Switzerland and the inclusion of a chapter on trusts in Europe's Draft Common Frame of Reference. As a result, there is a growing interest in the ways in which the trust can be accommodated in civil law systems. This collection explores this question, as well as general issues such as the juridical nature of the trust, the role and qualifications of the trustee and particular developments in specific jurisdictions.

Download or read book The International Trust written by John Glasson and published by Jordan Publishing (GB). This book was released on 2002 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expression "international trust" has no settled definition, although it is in common use. Generally, the term is applied to a trust that has legal significance with two or more countries. Until the 1960s international trusts were rarely encountered; they are now commonplace. This is partly due to the increased mobility of people and property, but mostly because of the growth of the offshore trust industry. Distilling the knowledge and breadth of experience from a distinguished collection of individual contributors, The International Trust deals with a variety of highly topical and significant issues. These range from international recognition of trusts to protectors and forced heirship, as well as an examination of the particular difficulties that arise in the context of civil law jurisdictions. This book is adapted from, and revises material on, many of the topics covered by the loose-leaf encyclopedia International Trust Laws. For example, chapters dealing with topics of day-by-day practical importance to the practitioner in the international trust field and chapters dealing with trusts from the perspective of Italy and Switzerland are updated and reproduced here in convenient cloth format. In addition the book includes an editor's introduction, providing an overview of the field, and a previously unpublished chapter by Professor Donovan Waters on the future of the trust from a global perspective, reflecting the most cutting-edge thinking.
Download or read book Trusts in the Principality of Liechtenstein and Similar Jurisdictions written by Francesco A. Schurr and published by Dike Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originating in common law, trusts were once completely foreign to continental European jurisdictions. This situation changed significantly when Liechtenstein enacted the Persons and Companies Act in 1926. It also continues to change as further jurisdictions undertake to recognize the trust. Worldwide, the increasing importance of (and demand for) trusts has led to increasing competition between jurisdictions. In order to remain competitive among other national legal systems, comparative analyses are becoming more important than ever. This book presents a collection of essays, each providing an analysis of a trust law issue from at least one jurisdiction's perspective. Following a chapter containing essays on general trust law issues, the book then focuses on the extent to which trusts can be used for the purposes of asset protection, clearly presenting the different approaches taken. An analysis of beneficiaries' rights under the laws of various jurisdictions is provided in the subsequent chapters' essays, highlighting the fact that the treatment of beneficiaries also varies quite considerably. The final chapter deals with international issues. (Series: Schriften des Zentrums fur liechtensteinisches Recht (ZLR) an der Universitat Zurich - Vol. 4)
