Trust

An obligation that binds a person (trustee) to deal with property in a particular way for the benefit of another person or class of persons (of which he himself may be a member) whose interests are protected by the equitable jurisdiction of the courts. A trust is a disposition of property to a person (trustee) or persons jointly (trustees) in whom the legal title then vests in the confidence that the benefits will be applied to the advantage of one or more other persons (beneficiaries) or some other object permitted by law.
