Trust
In general terms a trust can be defined as a relationship recognized by equity which arise when property ("the Trust Fund") is transferred by a person (" the Settler"), to another person or persons ("the Trustees"), and such Trustees are obliged to hold such property for the benefit of others ("the Beneficiaries"), and they must act at all time in the best interest of the Beneficiaries. The interests of the Beneficiaries are set out in the instrument creating the Trust, ("the Trust Deed"), but there are other interests which are implied or imposed by law. There are 4 players in the trust settler, trustee, beneficiaries, and court.

Normally will is a public document. That cannot be holding any secrets. Must declare the trustee and a beneficiary, as well as the property. Testators wish to make condition for a partner, husband or wife, illegitimate child, non marital child or can be anyone to ensure they are provided for after his death. Normally secret trust can be divided by two categories.
1) Fully Secret Trust
2) Half Secret Trust
Fully Secret Trust means in a fully secret trust property is given to a legatee, apparently beneficially, without words imposing a trust. However, the legatee agrees with the testator that he will hold it on certain trusts. The trust fails if it is not communicated to the legatee during the testator’s lifetime and takes effect as a beneficial gift to the legatee. A fully secret trust will arises trustee appears to take and absolute gift under testator’s will, but Trustee has informally agreed with testator’s hold the property on trust for beneficiary. Three requirements for the creation of valid fully secret trusts; (1) There must be an intention to create a trust.
(2) There must be communication of the donor’s intention to create a trust to the done, for the period of the lifetime of the

What is the difference between a. and a. A Trust is where one company or a group of people owns a lot of companies. they can control prices in one field. For example, a railroad company in the East buys out a company in the West and then is able to control prices of fares, because they do not have anyone to compete with.

Though there is no need for either party to use the word trust, the courts must be able to construe some sort of positive intent that the equitable interest was not to reside in the transferee. However Lord Millett later in Twinsectra Ltd denounces the emphasis previously placed on the party’s intent. Twinsectra involved a borrower seeking short term finance for the purchase of land and Lord Millett in this case states that Quistclose trusts are resulting trusts which arise by operation of law. His conclusion is based on the theory that resulting trust emerges when there is a transfer of property in circumstances in which the transferor did not intend to benefit the recipient. Carnworth J, however contends that from Twinsectra it seems that the parties place no real significance to the purpose so even applying Lord Millett’s newly configured resulting trust analysis, there is no real intent on the lenders part to ensure that the recipient does not receive the money at his free disposal. Furthermore, a key aspect of any intent to create a trust always revolves around the funds being held separately and so by devaluing this factor Lord Millett is detracting from traditional trust law principles and in the process is making it much easier to find a Quistclose trust in situations where it was never

My understanding of a trustee is that it is someone in a position of power deciding what is best without a direct mandate. In other words, someone who is carrying out the wishes of the constituents when feasible, as well as acting motivated by what he or she feels or thinks is in the best interest of the community as a whole. A delegate function, on the other hand, is one that mandates representation of the constituency. A delegate serves to enact the wishes of those people he/she represents in participation in the development of laws, policies and in leadership.

The United States government and all of its lesser conglomerates have a tough job to do when it comes to protecting its citizen’s rights. The fact of the matter is that the government doesn’t always get it right and citizen’s rights are often infringed upon, the court system aims to resolve these issues. One such instance comes to us from the Supreme Court case Bennett v. Spear in 1997. Here’s a brief summary of the case; in the area of question, the Klamath River in Oregon, it was discovered that two types of sucker fish were in peril due to falling lake levels caused by the Klamath Reservoir project. Irrigation regions and farmers downriver benefitted financially from the abundant water from the river. Their irrigation systems and therefore
Industrial trusts were systems where a company would grant ownership to another company by selling stocks. These trusts eventually became large monopolies of that industry. Trusts drove many small companies out of business that could not compete with the economies of scale that the trusts produced.
The first power of appointment mentioned in the Will is in the second paragraph. In this case, Roosevelt (power holder/donee) is directing that the $60,000 trust fund, which he received from his father (creator or donor), be given to his children in equal amounts. It can not be determined if Roosevelt exercised a general power of appointment or a limited power of appointment because the language of his father’s will is unknown, and thus there is no way to determine whether or not Roosevelt had any restrictions on the enjoyment of the money contained in the fund.

It has been generally acknowledged that the doctrine of proprietary estoppel has much in common with common intention constructive trusts, i.e. those that concern the acquisition of an equitable interest in another person’s land. In effect, the general aim is the recognition of real property rights informally created. The similarity between the two doctrines become clear in a variety of cases where the court rely on either of the two doctrines. To show the distinction between the doctrines, this essay will analyse the principles, roots and rationale of both doctrines. With reference to the relevant case law it will be possible to highlight the subtle differences between the doctrines in the cases where there seems to be some overlap. Three key cases where this issue surfaced were the following: Lloyds Bank Plc v. Rosset (1991), Yaxley v. Gotts (1999) and Stack v. Dowden (2007). This essay will describe the relevant judgements in these cases in order to show the differences between the two doctrines.
Current English land law on the co-ownership of interests of land has developed quite a contentious history pertaining to the relationship between the acquisition of rights and the quantification of the shares. In terms of co-ownership, there are huge variances and legal consequences when legal ownership is in one person’s name compared to two. These differences can be seen in various landmark cases which have created precedent and developed refined principles such as Lloyds Bank plc v Rosset and the Stack v Dowden. For the courts, it has often been relatively complex to distinguish between constructive and resulting trusts and to decide on the procedure to be used for the quantification of equitable entitlement once the decision to impute has been established. The quantification of resulting trusts is carefully considered in both, Midland Bank v Cooke and Stack v Snowden. In many co-ownership cases dealing with the acquisition of rights and the quantification of shares, the outcomes aren’t always proportionate. Reasons can include the ambiguities in the identification and changes of common intention and contributions types. In speaking to this issue, Baroness Hale stated in Stack v Dowden that “each case will turn on its own facts” and furthermore elaborated on the conditions for a common intention construct arising. It is furthermore important to critically discuss the repercussions these cases have for the future of co-ownership law to reconcile existing sources of confusion.
