CONFIDENTIAL RELATIONS AND UNEN- FORCIBLE EXPRESS TRUSTS GEORGE GLEASON BOGERT* It is a commonplace that courts of equity frequently base relief solely on the violation of a confidential relation. One of numerous examples of this action is to be found in the constructive trusts which are often created where a grantee has broken an oral, unenforcible promise to hold in trust for the grantor, and the grantee stood in a confidential relation to the grantor at the time of the making of the promise. The following is a typical case: A has conveyed land to B on B's oral agreement to hold it in trust for A and reconvey at A's command. A and B were in confidential relations before the deed was made. The Statute of Frauds prevents the enforcement of B's express promises. The retention of the land after setting up the Statute is not generally regarded as such inequitable conduct as to justify a decree that the holder is a constructive trustee.

  • Tol, Xeer, and Somalinimo: Recognizing Somali And
    Tol , Xeer , and Somalinimo : Recognizing Somali and Mushunguli Refugees as Agents in the Integration Process A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Vinodh Kutty IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY David M. Lipset July 2010 © Vinodh Kutty 2010 Acknowledgements A doctoral dissertation is never completed without the help of many individuals. And to all of them, I owe a deep debt of gratitude. Funding for this project was provided by two block grants from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Minnesota and by two Children and Families Fellowship grants from the Annie E. Casey Foundation. These grants allowed me to travel to the United Kingdom and Kenya to conduct research and observe the trajectory of the refugee resettlement process from refugee camp to processing for immigration and then to resettlement to host country. The members of my dissertation committee, David Lipset, my advisor, Timothy Dunnigan, Frank Miller, and Bruce Downing all provided invaluable support and assistance. Indeed, I sometimes felt that my advisor, David Lipset, would not have been able to write this dissertation without my assistance! Timothy Dunnigan challenged me to honor the Somali community I worked with and for that I am grateful because that made the dissertation so much better. Frank Miller asked very thoughtful questions and always encouraged me and Bruce Downing provided me with detailed feedback to ensure that my writing was clear, succinct and organized. I also have others to thank. To my colleagues at the Office of Multicultural Services at Hennepin County, I want to say “Thank You Very Much!” They all provided me with the inspiration to look at the refugee resettlement process more critically and dared me to suggest ways to improve it.

    THE LAW OF PROPERTY SUPPLEMENTAL READINGS Class 14 Professor Robert T. Farley, JD/LLM PROPERTY KEYED TO DUKEMINIER/KRIER/ALEXANDER/SCHILL SIXTH EDITION Calvin Massey Professor of Law, University of California, Hastings College of the Law The Emanuel Lo,w Outlines Series /\SPEN PUBLISHERS 76 Ninth Avenue, New York, NY 10011 http://lawschool.aspenpublishers.com 29 CHAPTER 2 FREEHOLD ESTATES ChapterScope -------------------­ This chapter examines the freehold estates - the various ways in which people can own land. Here are the most important points in this chapter. ■ The various freehold estates are contemporary adaptations of medieval ideas about land owner­ ship. Past notions, even when no longer relevant, persist but ought not do so. ■ Estates are rights to present possession of land. An estate in land is a legal construct, something apart fromthe land itself. Estates are abstract, figments of our legal imagination; land is real and tangible. An estate can, and does, travel from person to person, or change its nature or duration, while the landjust sits there, spinning calmly through space. ■ The fee simple absolute is the most important estate. The feesimple absolute is what we normally think of when we think of ownership. A fee simple absolute is capable of enduringforever though, obviously, no single owner of it will last so long. ■ Other estates endure for a lesser time than forever; they are either capable of expiring sooner or will definitely do so. ■ The life estate is a right to possession forthe life of some living person, usually (but not always) the owner of the life estate. It is sure to expire because none of us lives forever.

Whatever the decision of the court, and whichever system of color television broadcasting is finally approved, the controversy will at last have the finality of a decision of the United States Su- preme Court.

  • Part Vi — Resulting Trusts
    Equity and Trusts 06 – Resulting Trusts PART VI — RESULTING TRUSTS I Introduction A Definition A resulting trust arises where there has been a transfer of property and the transferor does not intend (or is presumed not to have intended) to confer a beneficial interest upon the transferee. For example, if A transfers legal title in property to B, not intending B to have any equitable interest in the property, then B is said to hold the property on resulting trust for A, such that A retains an equitable interest in same. The word ‘result’ in ‘resulting trust’ derives from the Latin resaltire, meaning ‘to jump backwards’. It describes the movement of the equitable interest, which ‘jumps backwards’ to the transferor from the transferee. An etymological analysis is thus particularly apt to describe the nature of the modern resulting trust. Equity recognises a resulting trust as arising in three circumstances: 1 Voluntary transfer of property If A voluntarily (ie, for no consideration) transfers property to B, B will be presumed to hold that property on resulting trust for A (‘presumption of resulting trust’). This presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a contrary intention: for example, an intention to make a gift; 2 Purchase in the name of another If A makes contributions to the purchase price of property, which is held in the name of B, B will be presumed to hold that property on resulting trust for A to the extent of A’s contribution (‘purchase money resulting trust’). This presumption is also rebutted by evidence of contrary intention, such as an intention to make a gift, or by a presumption of advancement (that, having regard to the type of relationship between A and B, A intended to advance himself — or herself: Nelson v Nelson — by making a gift); and 3 Failure of an express trust If an express trust fails for any reason, the property will result back to the original owner automatically and irrespective of the settlor or beneficiary’s intention.
