As remainderman, John will have the right to the extraordinary receipts such as sale proceeds. If this gift had been shared, he would have also received stock splits and dividends. John will also be responsible for any extraordinary expenses involved, such as amortization of principal or any other costs incurred.

A covenant is in the nature of a promise made to a volunteer and in order to be actionable, it must be Since George died only in 2004, one aspect that will be of significance in the courts is the fact that George did not go through on the constitution of the covenant, therefore this indicates that there was a lack of intention which is one of the requirements to establish the existence of a trust1. However, even if the trust has not been constituted, in the event that the beneficiary gave some consideration, the trust will be enforceable.
