Contribution
A legal fiction for treating a situation as if it were actually so. some examples help to clarify this term: a) although jeremiah gotrocks does not have the jewelry in his possession, he has the key to the safe deposit box and the right to enter so he has “constructive possession”; b) although there is no written trust document, george holder has picked up $10,000 in bearer bonds from the post office box of his niece tess truehart, who gave him her post office box combination while she was traveling in europe-this makes holder her “constructive trustee.”
