A constructive trust is not really a trust at all. A “constructive trust” is the name given to a flexible remedy imposed by a court of equity to prevent an unjust enrichment of one person at the expense of another as the result of wrongful conduct, such as undue influence, fraud, or breach of a fiduciary duty. The constructive trustee’s only duty is to convey the property to the person who would have owned it but for the wrongful conduct. The permits the wronged party to receive the very property of which he was deprived. This remedy is especially important where property has increased in value since it was wrongfully acquired (as it generally would lessen the tax burden to the recipient of the property in relation to the gain in value since it was wrongfully acquired).
If you believe you have wrongfully been deprived of property due to the acts of another, a constructive trust may be created to allow you to receive what is otherwise rightfully yours.
As always, every case is different so please, consult an attorney to be fully informed of your rights.
