ABSTRACT
Introduction The creation of express trusts falls outside the scope of this text and is considered more fully in the Trusts text in the Optimize series. Informally created trusts of land, however, are often encountered in land law, particularly in the context of the family home. There are two types of informally created trusts of land: ❖ resulting trusts; and ❖ constructive trusts. Resulting and constructive trusts are different from other interests in land in that they can be created without the need for writing, or indeed any formality (s 53(2) LPA 1925 ).
