What is a trust?

A trust is a legal arrangement that provides for the ownership, management, and distribution of property. Think of a trust as a box into which someone places property. The person placing the property into the trust is known as the grantor of the trust. The person that oversees the property in the box is the trustee. Finally, the person who receives the benefit of the property held in the box is known as the beneficiary.
