Massachusetts Trust


Massachusetts Trust

A business arrangement that is used in place of a corporation or partnership in which trustees hold title to property for the advantage of beneficiaries for investment purposes.

A Massachusetts trust is another name for a common-law trust or a Business Trust, which offers its beneficiaries limited financial liability in transactions in which it engages.

Massachusetts Trust

n. a business in which the investors give management authority to a trustee, and receive "trust certificates" representing their investments. Since they own only the certificates and do not participate in management, the investors can only lose their investment and are not personally liable for any debts of the trust. This is similar to a "limited partnership." A Massachusetts Trust is strictly a business entity and bears no relationship to a personal trust like living and testamentary trusts set up to manage and protect the assets of individuals and provide for eventual distribution.

Massachusetts Trust


Massachusetts Trust

A trust whereby the trustee or trustees run a business on behalf of beneficiaries. That is, the trustees act as the managers and the beneficiaries act as shareholders. Beneficiaries may sell their position as beneficiaries. The trustees own all property associated with the business. Income from a Massachusetts trust may be taxed more favorably than other income. The term derives from the first such trust, which was formed in Massachusetts in the late 19th century to avoid local real estate regulation. It is also called a business trust or an unincorporated business organization.
