In 2007 the Hague Trust Convention became effective for Switzerland. The adoption of this convention puts an end to uncertainties in the field of bankruptcy, has important consequences in terms of matrimonial, succession and banking law, and strengthens the position of the Swiss financial industry. Gutzwiller’s commentary, the only one in German, addresses the complex issues involved from a practical rather than an academic point of view.
