    <font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">I suggest that giving a
      name to a "trust" misleads folks (including lawyers) into thinking
      that it is a legal entity rather than a relationship between a
      trustee and one or more beneficiaries.  The legal entity/person is
      the trustee -- "John Doe, as trustee under Declaration of Trust
      dated 1-6-2016".<br>

      478 P.2d 232, 236 (1970)("General partnerships and trusts (other
      than Massachusetts trusts) are not legal entities.")  Also CR
      17(a): a trustee of an express trust may sue in his own name.<br>
