The three certainties of trusts law are:
1. *Certainty of Intention*: The settlor (the person creating the trust) must have a clear intention to create a trust.
2. *Certainty of Subject Matter*: The assets or property being transferred to the trust must be clearly identified.
3. *Certainty of Objects*: The beneficiaries of the trust (those who will benefit from the trust) must be clearly identified.
To ensure proper stewardship and comply with these certainties:
1. *Clearly define the trust's purpose and scope* in the trust agreement.
2. *Specifically identify the assets* being transferred to the trust.
3. *Clearly name and define the beneficiaries* and their interests in the trust.
4. *Appoint a competent trustee* who understands their fiduciary duties.
5. *Regularly review and update* the trust agreement to ensure it remains aligned with the settlor's intentions.
6. *Maintain accurate records* of trust assets, transactions, and beneficiary information.
7. *Act with transparency* and communicate openly with beneficiaries about trust matters.
By following these guidelines, you can help ensure proper stewardship
