Trust law

In law a trust is a relationship where property is held by one party for the benefit of another party. A trust is created by the owner, also called a "settlor", "trustor" or "grantor" who transfers property to a trustee.[1] The trustee holds that property for the trust's beneficiaries.[1] Trusts exist mainly in common law jurisdictions.[2] They have existed since Roman times.[3]
