Simple trust

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

simple trust n. a trust which requires that all income be distributed each year and not accumulated. (See: trust)


SIMPLE TRUST. A simple trust corresponds with the ancient use, and is where property is simply vested in one person for the use of another, and the nature of the trust, not being qualified by the settler, is left to the construction of law. It differs from a special trust. (q.v.) 2 Bouv. Inst. n. 1896.
