Merger doctrine (trust law)
Topic: Social
From Handwiki - Reading time: 1 minIn trust law the term "doctrine of merger" refers to the fusing of legal and equitable title in the event the same person becomes both the sole trustee and the sole beneficiary of a trust. In such a case, the trust is sometimes deemed to have terminated (with the result that the beneficiary owns the trust property outright).[1]
