Restatement of the Law, Trusts
The Restatement of the Law, Trusts is a comprehensive guide issued by the American Law Institute that clarifies and organizes the legal principles governing trusts. It consolidates existing laws and court decisions to create a clear set of rules about how trusts operate, who has rights and responsibilities, and how disputes should be resolved. This legal framework helps judges, lawyers, and the public understand trust law better, ensuring that trusts are managed fairly and according to the intentions of those who create them. It's not a law itself but a respected explanation of the law as it stands.
