== Trust ideas ==
== What is trust? ==
 
[[Trust]], [[Faith]], and [[Allegiance]] are not exclusively convertible terms, though they contain many overlapping defining elements.
 
== What is a legal trust ==
 
"The subject matter of trusts...is evenly divided between creation and administration. The creation portion of trusts can be summarized by a definitional point of view; i.e., the elements of a trust (res, trustee, trustor, beneficiary and trust intent) cover the subject.  Like offer, acceptance and consideration elements of contracts, the elements of a trust serve as the overview of the creation of the trust.  The administration part of a trust, on the other hand, consists of a series of duties which can each be approached with the same technique used in discussing negligence issues in the subject of torts: Duty, Breach, Causation, Damages and Defenses."
 
"...The courts [have] left room to allow the subject [of trusts] to grow.  Efforts to codify and make certain have resulted in a Restatement (Restatement, Second and Third, Trusts) rather than a Uniform Code.  While Wills was predominately based on statutes, Trusts is based more upon case law." 
 
A [[Trust]] may be "the child of the Courts of [[Equity]] and shows the markings of that ancestry: a greater emphasis upon broad principles than upon specific rules, greater uncertainty at the border areas, and case-by-case determination of matters rather than a clear cut dividing line drawn in advance to resolve all matters."
 
=== Wills ===
 
While Wills focus upon what part of the estate is distributed to whom, Trusts focus upon the duties of the person making the distribution and how distribution is achieved.
 
A trust is an intentionally created fiduciary relationship with regard to property in which the legal title is in the trustee, but the benefits of ownership is in another person, the beneficiary.  The Trust relationship imposes fiduciary duties upon the trustee for the benefit of the beneficiary.  These fiduciary duties are the lifeblood of the relationship.
 
=== Trust types ===
 
There are two basic types of written legal trusts: living trusts and testamentary trusts.
: A '''living trust''' or an "inter-vivos" trust is set up during the person's lifetime.
: A '''Testamentary trust'' is set up in a will and established only after the person's death when the will goes into effect.
 
=== Charitable trust ===
 
A charitable trust allows a donor to set assets aside for one or more charities. There are two different types of charitable "split-interest" trusts which "split" the assets between a charitable and noncharitable beneficiary.:
* charitable remainder trusts (CRTs) and
* charitable lead trusts (CLTs). 
 
=== Irrevocable trust ===
 
An irrevocable trust is a trust that can't be modified or terminated without the permission of the beneficiary. The grantor, having transferred assets into the trust, effectively removes all of his or her rights of ownership to the assets and the trust.
 
=== Trust concepts ===
 
The center of the trust concept is easy to define and recognize; its margins are quite obscure.  Among the problem areas are the following:
 
There are other relationships which are similar in one way or more ways to a Trust - agencies, bailments, partnerships, personal representatives' status (executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, committee), third party beneficiary contracts, assignments, mortgages, equitable charges and liens.  Distinguishing these relationships from a Trust helps one to see the general areas of the trust field, but does not clearly define what a Trust is.
 
Trust is a broad category, like the term "clothing".  A particular trust may be designated for a particular purpose, but may be inappropriate for other uses, just like a pair of shoes protects the feet, but will not satisfy the dictates of modesty, and a pair of coveralls will protect from arrest for indecent exposure, but will not keep the hands and feet warm.  Both coveralls and the shoes are "clothing".  Similarly, a "charitable trust" and a "private trust" are both trusts, although opposites.  The word Trust may be modified by words indicating any of a greater number of dimensions; e.g., a spend-thrift trust is one which contains provisions limiting the assignability of the beneficial interest.  It could also be a living or a testamentary trust.  It could be revocable or irrevocable.
 
=== Benefits and Burdens ===
 
A trust arises when the owner of property separates the benefits from the burdens of ownership by giving them to different people.  Normally, the benefits and burdens of property ownership are in the same person; for example, the owner of an apartment house would be entitled to collect rents (a benefit) and would be required to make repairs and pay taxes (burdens).  The owner would then receive a net benefit to have a net loss.  If the owner wanted to separate the benefits and burdens, he could create a trust by delivering legal title to one person (the trustee) and the equitable (or beneficial) title to another (the beneficiary).  The trustee would then have duties imposed upon her by the terms of the trust instrument and by general trust law.  The beneficiary would have only the benefits (perhaps reduced slightly by the trustee's fees). The trustee would have the power (unless denied by the trust instrument) and perhaps even the duty (perhaps even if prohibited by the trust instrument) to sell the apartment house and reinvest the proceeds for the benefit of the beneficiary.

What is trust?

Trust, Faith, and Allegiance are not exclusively convertible terms, though they contain many overlapping defining elements.

What is a legal trust

"The subject matter of trusts...is evenly divided between creation and administration. The creation portion of trusts can be summarized by a definitional point of view; i.e., the elements of a trust (res, trustee, trustor, beneficiary and trust intent) cover the subject. Like offer, acceptance and consideration elements of contracts, the elements of a trust serve as the overview of the creation of the trust. The administration part of a trust, on the other hand, consists of a series of duties which can each be approached with the same technique used in discussing negligence issues in the subject of torts: Duty, Breach, Causation, Damages and Defenses."

"...The courts [have] left room to allow the subject [of trusts] to grow. Efforts to codify and make certain have resulted in a Restatement (Restatement, Second and Third, Trusts) rather than a Uniform Code. While Wills was predominately based on statutes, Trusts is based more upon case law."

A Trust may be "the child of the Courts of Equity and shows the markings of that ancestry: a greater emphasis upon broad principles than upon specific rules, greater uncertainty at the border areas, and case-by-case determination of matters rather than a clear cut dividing line drawn in advance to resolve all matters."

Wills

While Wills focus upon what part of the estate is distributed to whom, Trusts focus upon the duties of the person making the distribution and how distribution is achieved.

A trust is an intentionally created fiduciary relationship with regard to property in which the legal title is in the trustee, but the benefits of ownership is in another person, the beneficiary. The Trust relationship imposes fiduciary duties upon the trustee for the benefit of the beneficiary. These fiduciary duties are the lifeblood of the relationship.

Trust types

There are two basic types of written legal trusts: living trusts and testamentary trusts.

A living trust or an "inter-vivos" trust is set up during the person's lifetime.
A 'Testamentary trust is set up in a will and established only after the person's death when the will goes into effect.

Charitable trust

A charitable trust allows a donor to set assets aside for one or more charities. There are two different types of charitable "split-interest" trusts which "split" the assets between a charitable and noncharitable beneficiary.:

  • charitable remainder trusts (CRTs) and
  • charitable lead trusts (CLTs).

Irrevocable trust

An irrevocable trust is a trust that can't be modified or terminated without the permission of the beneficiary. The grantor, having transferred assets into the trust, effectively removes all of his or her rights of ownership to the assets and the trust.

Trust concepts

The center of the trust concept is easy to define and recognize; its margins are quite obscure. Among the problem areas are the following:

There are other relationships which are similar in one way or more ways to a Trust - agencies, bailments, partnerships, personal representatives' status (executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, committee), third party beneficiary contracts, assignments, mortgages, equitable charges and liens. Distinguishing these relationships from a Trust helps one to see the general areas of the trust field, but does not clearly define what a Trust is.

Trust is a broad category, like the term "clothing". A particular trust may be designated for a particular purpose, but may be inappropriate for other uses, just like a pair of shoes protects the feet, but will not satisfy the dictates of modesty, and a pair of coveralls will protect from arrest for indecent exposure, but will not keep the hands and feet warm. Both coveralls and the shoes are "clothing". Similarly, a "charitable trust" and a "private trust" are both trusts, although opposites. The word Trust may be modified by words indicating any of a greater number of dimensions; e.g., a spend-thrift trust is one which contains provisions limiting the assignability of the beneficial interest. It could also be a living or a testamentary trust. It could be revocable or irrevocable.

Benefits and Burdens

A trust arises when the owner of property separates the benefits from the burdens of ownership by giving them to different people. Normally, the benefits and burdens of property ownership are in the same person; for example, the owner of an apartment house would be entitled to collect rents (a benefit) and would be required to make repairs and pay taxes (burdens). The owner would then receive a net benefit to have a net loss. If the owner wanted to separate the benefits and burdens, he could create a trust by delivering legal title to one person (the trustee) and the equitable (or beneficial) title to another (the beneficiary). The trustee would then have duties imposed upon her by the terms of the trust instrument and by general trust law. The beneficiary would have only the benefits (perhaps reduced slightly by the trustee's fees). The trustee would have the power (unless denied by the trust instrument) and perhaps even the duty (perhaps even if prohibited by the trust instrument) to sell the apartment house and reinvest the proceeds for the benefit of the beneficiary.


Conversion

It is the separation of the legal title and the equitable title (i.e., the "ownership" which would have been protected by the respective courts of law and equity) which provides the poles between which the fiduciary duty the electricity of a trust relationship flows. The Trust is a relationship which requires the existence of some property interest, the "res"." Excerpted from: Wills and Trusts in a Nut Shell, by Robert L.

Trusts in Scripture

The Bible talks a lot about trust. The words meaning "trust" appear in numerous forms hundreds of times.

One Hebrew word is batach [1] which means "to trust, trust in" or "to have confidence". It is without the Mem we see in mibtach.


The word mibtach [2] has the letter Mem which has to do with the flow of something as we see in the word Altars, tribute,tithe and even the word for Egypt, Mitsrayim.

Or another word chacah[3] meaning to put trust in or confide in someone or something.

And the word yachal[4] which is translated trust and hope.

Ministers of trust

The relationship between man and God is not the same as our relationship with man and man. While we may trust one another, the trust between us and God is not the same.

The Ministers of God, like the Levites, had a job to do. Their job description included the responsibility to lead the people so that they learned to trust God. As ministers, their job is to get people to trust the Holy Spirit of God. Ministers of God should seek no personal loyalty of the people to them or even dependence upon them. The temptations of Jesus Christ are faced by every minister of Christ.

The Golden calf was a reserve of wealth deposited in society to bind them together. The Levites received the contribution of the people, yet they were not treasures of the people, but servants of God and His spirit.

While the world offers entitlements, the ministers of God who are called out to serve His purposes offer no entitlements. To receive from God's table you must ask[5], you must knock[6].

Moses and Jesus were in agreement because the precepts of God are the same today as they were yesterday. The "Church in the wilderness" which was the Levites who were called out by Moses, and the "Church appointed by Christ" -- both churches were to be separate from the world and belong to God. The Levites were to be separate from the people[7] while they served the tents of the congregations.

If ministers gather a congregation around them, they can be tempted to hold a position of respect, which may give them authority in the mind of the people. While they are servants of God, they must also remain in a position of service. People often have a tendency to put people on a pedestal where vanity may creep in and corrupt the minister.

A minister may actually covet their congregation and the attention they give and become possessive of their position of honor, like the apostles began to do as they sought to sit at the right hand or the left of Christ in the kingdom.

The Kingdom of God is often the antitheses of the kingdoms or governments of the world and even the modern Church.

One of the temptations all ministers must face is the temptation of the people's trust in them. Saul was a great man who defended the people and fought for justice. But the voice of the people chose to give him power. That power corrupted Saul, which lead to the Saul Syndrome.

While as ministers, we are not kings, but the same principle and temptations may apply to us if we are not careful. People have a natural tendency to put their ministers on a pedestal of influence. This subtle path of praise and loyalty can open the door to vanity and corruption.

Ministers should be on guard to not encourage faith in themselves but God only. We may serve the people as a father serves his children, but we are not fathers to the people we serve. We serve Christ together with a brotherhood of fellow ministers. Our loyalty is not to the people we serve but to the righteousness of God.

Being a minister of Christ is not a popularity contest. We are not trying to win the hearts of the people to us, but to Christ. If they do not come to serve one another, then they do not know Christ. But the minister serves Christ by turning many congregations into His kingdom through a network of service through his fellow ministers.

We have seen ministers isolate themselves and focus on their congregation to the detriment of both. An isolated minister thinks he is serving his congregation, but he is actually making them dependent upon him.

It is a great but subtle temptation for a minister to covet the congregation he serves. Without knowing it, he may begin to turn them into spiritual, emotional and even financial bread to serve his own needs and appetite and for his own corporeal and incorporeal personality.

Seeking the personal loyalty and trust of the members of a congregation weakens the people as they trust in their minister instead of God and His Holy Spirit. The people may look upon their minister, but it is not for them to look to him, nor depend upon their minister rather than God. There are no entitlements in the Kingdom of God.

When a congregation trusts in their minister, as soon as the minister is gone, the congregation will fall apart.

No, we are to lead them to independence from us and dependence upon God. The minister should be the door to the rest of the network, so they may learn to cast their bread upon the waters.

For several reasons, those in need should ask if they wish to receive.[8]

To ask something in the name of Christ is to come together in the name of, or character of, Christ; it is to come to serve,[9], not to be served.[10]

Trust in God

2 Samuel 22:3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
