<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The creation of a trust involves the separation of rights to the trust property — the title to trust property is split between the trustee and the beneficiaries. The trustee
holds legal title to the property and the beneficiaries hold equitable title. As the trustee holds legal title to the property, the property is held in the trustee's name. The trust is not a legal entity that can hold properly. It is simply a name/term that
denotes the relationship between the grantor and the trustee. Thus, when it is said that property is being transferred to a trust, what is really meant is that property is being transferred to a trustee to be held “<i><span style="font-style:italic">in trust</span></i>”
for the benefit of someone else. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
