Statutory trusts involve real property that is held by a trustee with the intention of selling. Any profits from the real property including rent and sale profits go into the trust. These profits are then paid to the benefactors of the trust. This process is regulated by the Uniform Statutory Trust Entity Act (USTEA).

How Does a Business Trust Work? A trust is an agreement that allows one party, known as a trustee, to hold, manage, and direct assets or property on behalf of another party, called the beneficiary. In a business trust, a trustee manages a business and conducts transactions for the benefit of its beneficiaries.

A trustee is the legal owner of the assets held in the trust which are managed by the trustees for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the trust in question. Trustees receive their powers from the trust instrument and/or from statute.

The rules of intestacy can provide for assets to be held in a 'statutory trust' (a 'trust for sale' TSEM6123). Most commonly, it occurs where the assets exceed a fixed sum (set by statute), and the deceased left a widow and issue. The widow is entitled to the fixed sum. Half of the excess is held on a statutory trust.
