IEL Property and Trust Law

The Property and Trust Law section of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws deals with the diversity of rights and interests in all kinds of property and assets.

Although property law has developed along completely different lines in the diverse legal families, the perception that legal solutions, concepts, terms, and mechanisms vary, and may even seem at some points to be diametrically opposed, should not conceal the fact that such solutions are often functionally equivalent, in spite of their technical or conceptual differences. Each of these national monographs thus reveals the similarities among distinct property and trust law regimes, emphasizing the following:

• interests in immovable property;
• legal, equitable, and security interests in personal property;
• acquisition of property rights; and
• administration of property.

In addition to national monographs, on the complete Encyclopaedia includes a discussion of The Cape Town Convention and Its Protocols.

Succinct and practical, these monographs will prove valuable time-saving tools for legal professionals in trust and estates law. Academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative property and trust law.

The International Encyclopaedia of Laws is peer-reviewed under the responsibility of the editors and the general editor’s office.
