Why this course is different
Law, taught the way you’d actually want to learn it.
Most trust law is written for law students. This isn’t. Every idea arrives as a small story or a picture first, and the technical word comes second — in brackets, in plain English.
Visual first
Diagrams, illustrations and short animations carry each idea. Text just fills in the gaps.
Plain English
Written for a curious 14-year-old reader. Short sentences. Everyday words before legal ones.
Learn by doing
Drag, sort, branch and build. Every lesson has a hands-on check — not just multiple choice.
Learn online, anywhere
Your whole membership lives online — every lesson on any device, ready whenever you are. Pick up right where you left off.
Meet your guides
Three characters make the invisible visible.
A trust is really a relationship between three people. Instead of abstract definitions, you’ll follow the same friendly cast through every lesson — so the roles stick.
Sam
the settlor
“I want to make sure this is looked after.” Sam sets the trust up and puts property into it.
Tara
the trustee
“It’s not mine — I just look after it.” Tara holds and manages the property for others.
Ben
the beneficiary
“This is meant for me.” Ben is the person the trust is actually for.
The full journey
Seven courses, one clear ladder.
Each course builds on the one before. Stop after Course 1 and you’ll understand what a trust is. Reach the end and you’ll understand how trusts are run, and what to do when things go wrong.
