Download or read book Trust in the Law written by Tom R. Tyler and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2002-10-10 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public opinion polls suggest that American's trust in the police and courts is declining. The same polls also reveal a disturbing racial divide, with minorities expressing greater levels of distrust than whites. Practices such as racial profiling, zero-tolerance and three-strikes laws, the use of excessive force, and harsh punishments for minor drug crimes all contribute to perceptions of injustice. In Trust in the Law, psychologists Tom R. Tyler and Yuen J. Huo present a compelling argument that effective law enforcement requires the active engagement and participation of the communities it serves, and argue for a cooperative approach to law enforcement that appeals to people's sense of fair play, even if the outcomes are not always those with which they agree. Based on a wide-ranging survey of citizens who had recent contact with the police or courts in Oakland and Los Angeles, Trust in the Law examines the sources of people's favorable and unfavorable reactions to their encounters with legal authorities. Tyler and Huo address the issue from a variety of angles: the psychology of decision acceptance, the importance of individual personal experiences, and the role of ethnic group identification. They find that people react primarily to whether or not they are treated with dignity and respect, and the degree to which they feel they have been treated fairly helps to shape their acceptance of the legal process. Their findings show significantly less willingness on the part of minority group members who feel they have been treated unfairly to trust the motives to subsequent legal decisions of law enforcement authorities. Since most people in the study generalize from their personal experiences with individual police officers and judges, Tyler and Huo suggest that gaining maximum cooperation and consent of the public depends upon fair and transparent decision-making and treatment on the part of law enforcement officers. Tyler and Huo conclude that the best way to encourage compliance with the law is for legal authorities to implement programs that foster a sense of personal involvement and responsibility. For example, community policing programs, in which the local population is actively engaged in monitoring its own neighborhood, have been shown to be an effective tool in improving police-community relationships. Cooperation between legal authorities and community members is a much discussed but often elusive goal. Trust in the Law shows that legal authorities can behave in ways that encourage the voluntary acceptance of their directives, while also building trust and confidence in the overall legitimacy of the police and courts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bill will implement the changes in the law of England and Wales recommended in the report by the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission, Trustee's Powers and Duties, 1999. The principal change will be the creation of a new wider statutory power of investment to replace the present limited power under the Trustee Investment Act 1961. A range of new powers to appoint agents, nominees and custodians; to insure trust property; and to pay professional trustees, are intended to facilitate the better administration of trusts and to enable trustees to take full advantage of the wider investment opportunities now open to them, whilst protecting the interests of beneficiaries against abuse.

This fully integrated and bound volume of the 2021 Handbook brings you up to date on the latest cases, statutes, and developments, as well as new or updated discussion of topics as follow: The Handbook continues the lengthy process of pruning some of the deadwood; significant exposition has been cut, revised, or combined. In sum, the Handbook is now even leaner, meaner, and more usable than ever. In addition, numerous new cases and secondary sources have been added. These include the following: The 2021 Handbook fully covers the fourth income and principal act issued by the Uniform Law Commission, namely the Uniform Fiduciary Income and Principal Act (2018), otherwise known as UFIPA. UFIPA has been covered extensively in this edition and has been added in many separate sections. A new section covers remedies at law for breaches of trust, such as the tort of intentional interference with inheritance or acquisition by inter vivos transfer. In addition, the Handbook has been updated with 200+ new cases, including: Roth v. Jelley, holding that, when it comes to a judicial proceeding that could adversely affect the equitable property rights of a trust beneficiary,the beneficiary is entitled under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to notice and an opportunity to be heard. This case also discusses the various consequences attendant to the failure to provide such notice. Hector v. Bank of N.Y. Mellon, where the court, having in part looked to the Restatement (Third) for guidance, held that the designated passive corporate trustee of a securitized fund of mortgage-backed notes would not be personally at fault, and therefore, not personally liable for any injuries to the tenants of a certain parcel of real estate, title to which the trustee had acquired via foreclosure, that might be occasioned by their exposure to lead paint in and about the premises. Murphy v. Trustee of Star Financial Bank, a case discussing the unfortunate linkage of survivorship and per stirpes: "to their surviving children per stirpes." The court held that the way in which "surviving" and "per stirpes" were linked rendered the provision itself ambiguous in that the "condition of survival negates the right of representation inherent in a per stirpes distribution." 2020 Tax Rates for Trusts and 2021 Projected Tax Rate Schedule for Trusts Note: Online subscriptions are for three-month periods.

Download or read book Capital and Income in Trusts written by Great Britain. Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trusts are important to the national economy and provide a range of benefits to individuals and charitable purposes. This project affects charitable and private trusts which are set up in a way which distinguishes capital and the income it produces. The project was referred to the Law Commission as a result of concerns about current trust law raised during the passage of the most recent piece of trust legislation - the Trustee Act 2000 - through Parliament. The Law Commission was asked to consider, in particular, the rules governing the classification of trust receipts as income and capital, the circumstances in which trustees must apportion receipts and outgoings between income and capital, and the rights and duties of charity trustees in relation to investment returns on a charity's permanent endowment. In its report, the Commission recommends the abolition of the equitable and statutory rules of apportionment for all new trusts and the introduction of a new rule of classification for tax-exempt corporate demergers. It also recommends a new statutory provision that will make total return investment more easily accessible to charitable trusts with a permanent endowment. These recommendations follow extensive consultation (Consultation paper 175, 2004, ISBN 9780117302617) and have been welcomed by the Trust Law Committee.
