Trusts & Estates Generally, a trust is a right in property (real or personal) which is held in a fiduciary relationship by one party for the benefit of another. The trustee is the one who holds title to the trust property, and the beneficiary is the person who receives the benefits of the trust. Many trusts are created as an alternative to or in conjunction with a will and other elements of estate planning. Below are links to trusts and estates documents from Canada and other countries.
