Clapp, Random House Webster's Dictionary of the Law, at p. 46,
Random House (2000).
[2] “Any arrangement whereby property is transferred with intention that it be administered by trustee for another's benefit. A fiduciary relationship in which one person is the holder of the title to property subject to an equitable obligation to keep or use the property for the benefit of another. ”Cf.
