Solution

Commercial Trust Law

Introduction

A trust is a relationship in which an asset is under the management of one party on behalf of another (Thomson 10). The owner of the asset who is known as the settlor, trustor or the guarantor establishes the relationship. The property is then transferred to a trustee who holds it for the trust’s beneficiaries. The first part of this paper will evaluate the basic principles of equity as part of the English System of law. The second part analyses how trusts are used in commercial transactions and issues dealt with according to the norms of contract and trust laws.

An express trust is one that is founded by a deliberate act of the settlor or a testator in case of a will, it can further be categorised into two, a private and public trust. The former is one whose beneficiaries are people closely related to the settler, such as family members and close friends (Rickett 57)……………………………………….To access the rest of the solution for $15, please click on the purchase button.
