It is generally considered appropriate to establish an occupational pension scheme by way of a trust in order to separate the scheme assets (contributions) from those of the employer (company) and to ensure that the company does not become liable for the scheme. The trust will be established by way of a trust deed, and the assets will be the responsibility of the trustees (either individuals or a corporate trustee) who must act in the best interests of the beneficiaries i.e. the scheme members and pensioners.

The most common instrument of financing real estate purchases in California and some other states (most states use mortgages). The trust deed transfers the title to the property to a trustee — often a title company — who holds it as security for a loan. When the loan is paid off, the title is transferred (reconveyed) to the borrower. The trustee will not become involved in the arrangement unless the borrower defaults on the loan. At that point, the trustee can generally sell the property in a nonjudicial foreclosure and pay the lender from the proceeds.Category: Bankruptcy, Foreclosure & Debt → ForeclosureCategory: Real Estate & Rental Property → Buying a House
