Abstract

The notion that a trust may fail because it serves no useful purpose or reflects merely the whim or fancy of the testator seems to fly in the face of testamentary freedom and, in particular, the testator’s right to dispose of their estate in whatever manner they choose, subject only to the court’s control over illegal or immoral conditions and the making of reasonable financial provision for their family and dependants. So how have the courts grappled with these two competing aspects of public policy?
