In re Robert Palmer's estate

X et al. v. Y, First Civil Chamber, Court of Appeal of Ticino, 19 December 2007

David Wallace Wilson and Julie Wynne*

This is the first trust case rendered in Switzerland after the ratification of the Hague Trust Convention, which came into force on 1 July 2007 (Judgment of the Court of Appeal of Ticino of 19 December 2007 (11.2004.49)). This case deals with trust litigation in connection with the estate of Robert Palmer, the British pop singer. It examines whether there is a conflict of interest in simultaneously acting as executor of an estate and as trustee of a testamentary trust and highlights the differences between the executor of an estate and a court-appointed administrator in a civil law jurisdiction.
