A trust is created for a beneficiary or organization. The funds for such are already deposited into a special account before the trust is created. Funds cannot be drawn out of that account except in accordance with the trust rules or by its originator, and then only under certain conditions.So, no, the trust is not just created when the funds or title is delivered to the trustee - it has to be set up long before that occurs.AnswerA trust is created by a Declaration of Trust that sets forth the provisions of the trust. A trustee is named in the trust document and amendments and trustee resignation/appointments must be executed in writing and filed with the original trust document. The trustee is the entity that has the power to manage the trust property on behalf of the trust. The trustee holds legal title to the trust property. Bank accounts and investment accounts can be titled in the name of the trust and the entity that holds the account will require proof of both the trust and the identity of the trustee. If the trust is to hold real property, it must be transferred to the trustee, i.e., to John Kennedy as trustee of the Boston Realty Trust as set forth in a Declaration of Trust dated January 1, 2010.
