Trusts - a Trust deed is a legal document creating a relationship between a person who places assets under the control of a Trust for the benefit of people or for specific reasons. The person placing assets in the trust are known as the Settlor, the control of the assets under the trust are known as the Trustee and the people who are to benefit are known as the Beneficiaries.
The assets transferred to the trustees becomes their property, but it is for the benefit of the beneficiaries. Trustees have a legal obligation to deal with the assets of the trust in accordance with the trust deed. Generally there will be more than one trustee of a trust.
