TRUSTS
The law of trusts is a very old and complicated area of property law that originated centuries
ago in England. At its core is the notion that property can be held by one party (the trustee) for
the benefit of another person, either the party entrusting the property to the trustee (known
as the beneficiary) or even for a third party. The trustee must always deal with the property in
the best interests of the beneficiary. Trusts can be express or implied (i.e., inferred by a court).

FIDUCIE
Grand apport scientifique de la common law au droit romain, le trust de droit anglais entre de
plein droit dans le nouveau Code civil, non sans quelques ajustements. L’institution à sa place
à côté des mécanismes d’administration des biens d’autrui et complète le pan du droit relatif
aux BIENS ET PROPRIÉTÉ.
