A bare trust (sometimes referred to as a simple trust or mandatory trust) is a trust in which the beneficiary has a right to both income and capital and may call for both to be remitted into his own name.^[1]

The beneficiary is also entitled to take actual ownership and control of the trust property. Although there are trustees, they are only effectively nominees and must act according to the beneficiary's instructions.

A simple trust requires that any income it receives be distributed within the tax period it is earned. This is opposite to a complex trust where the funds are not required to be paid out right away, so it can keep gaining income without having to distribute the money or property.
