The laws governing trusts vary from state to state, although the evolution of those laws this century has led to increasing uniformity among many states. Distinctions remain, and several states notably stand apart, endeavoring to be more attractive to those seeking to form and administer trusts. Overlaying the state laws, some federal laws – particularly those concerning taxes – play a central role in the design and administration of trusts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by experienced attorneys and other subject matter experts, this book is an in-depth survey of trust laws in the United States.
