 In most countries no formalities are required to create an "inter vivos" trust over personal property, but there are often formalities associated with trusts over real property, or testamentary trusts.The words or acts of the settlor must be sufficient to establish an intention that either another person or the settlor himself shall be trustee of the property on behalf of the beneficiary; a general intention to benefit another person on its own is sufficient.These formalities apply to express trusts only, and not to resulting, implied or constructive trusts.
