Abstract

The article examines the possibility of using the mechanism of a residuary legatee in order to enforce a trust for non-charitable purposes. It also considers making the settlor himself a residuary legatee under the trust so as to effectively re-activate his standing to enforce the trust qua residuary beneficiary. Moreover, to secure performance of the trust beyond the settlor's lifetime, it is argued that the settlor should make a will leaving their residuary interest to an appropriate beneficiary so as to continue their role of enforcer of the trust until such time as the trust period comes to an end. In the absence of a testamentary disposition, the settlor's interest as residuary legatee will, upon an intestacy, pass automatically to their spouse or child(ren) who will be capable of enforcing the trust.
