A constructive trust is not one that is created by an individual. It is not a trust (express trust) in the true meaning of the term. It is a trust created by a court as a remedy when it decides that an individual is holding title to property unfairly. It treats the defendant as though it had been the trustee of an express trust. The court then compels the defendant to convey title to the property to the rightful owner. You can read more about constructive trusts at the link below.
