What does a trust do?

Answer:
A trust is a legal vehicle whereby the legal title and the equitable title to the property comprising the trust res is split between a trustee and a beneficiary. The conveyance of property into a trust functions to put the trust res at arm's length from both the grantor and the beneficiary for various reasons, both legal and capricious.
