3 CERTAINTIES
Certainty of Intention Clear expression of an intention to create a trust
RE KAYFORD - do not need to use the word trust
Precatory words, hope wish, desire, unlikely to create a trust
LAMB v EAMES
RE HAMILTON - Court will not allow a precatory trust to be raised without evidence of intention
Showing intention
PAUL v CONSTANCE - Money is as much yours as mine
JONES v LOCK - I give this to baby for himself
CERTAINTY OF SUBJECT MATTER
The property and beneficiaries interest in it must be certain
Fixed trusts Trustees under an obligation to distribute - Uncertainty of subject matter renders the trust void
Court and trustees must be able to identify land
SPRANGE v BARNARD - remaining part that husband did not want - unknown what would be left, trust failed
LONDON WINES CO - ID of specific property out of a larger amount, buyers paid for wine (tangible goods) stored in warehouse.
Co went bust, wine not separated from general stock, no trust.as the wine formed part of the bulk no way to know what had been paid for
C/F HUNTER v MOSS - Settlor owned 950 shares (intangible goods), orally declared trust for 50, but which 50. AC held a trust here
As long as shares of same class in same company, no need to segregate, decision was widely criticised
Discretionary trusts
Settlor leaves property to trustees, for whoever in such shares as they see fit
Can affect the rules of certainty
RE GOLAYS WILL TRUST
Lady to enjoy flat for lifetime and receive a reasonable income from other properties
Trust was valid, executors could choose the flat and court, if required, could quantify a reasonable income
RE KNAPTON - Testatrix didn't specify who would get which house or how to choose. Valid trust, top of list had first choice.
As nieces & nephews were a class, lots were drawn on who got to choose first
If not clear who gets what, trust fails and results back to residue

Must be for ascertainable beneficiaries, humans or corporations, as long as have this, trust of perfect obligation
