Charitable Trusts

Start with the foundations

Begin with the mind map on the legal concept of charity. It brings together charitable purposes, public benefit, political purposes and schemes. Use it to see the topics covered before moving to a more focused resource.

The mind map “Purpose and Charitable Trusts” introduces the beneficiary principle. The map “Charities” covers benefits of charitable purpose trusts, including tax exemptions and an exemption from the beneficiary principle. Reading these maps together can help you compare the principles and features they describe.

Explore particular questions

For a closer look at charitable purposes, use the mind map on exclusively charitable purposes. Another map focuses on poverty and public benefit. The “Public benefit” flashcard deck gives you a way to return to that theme after studying the maps.

The “Cy-pres doctrine” mind map considers what can happen when a charitable purpose becomes impractical or impossible to apply. Follow it with the flashcard deck on the same doctrine to recall the topic in a different format.

Use maps and flashcards together

There are no quizzes on this page, so pair a mind map with a flashcard deck instead. First, trace the ideas in a map and note the connections you want to remember. Then use a related deck to check your recall. Return to the map when you want to look at the context again.

Place the topic in the unit

Charitable Trusts is a section of Equity and Trusts in Law (general and introduction). The resources let you focus on charitable purposes and the rules and principles discussed in the maps, while keeping that unit context in view. Explore the collection and choose the resources that fit your study plan.
