Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the institution of the trust, as well as the Roman trust, for beinga key piece in the creation and evolution of the figure of Common Law. Specifi-cally, we will analyze the origins of the trust, its nature and how it works, taking the Roman trust as its basis. Later, we will carry out a small analysis about the similarities and differences be-tween both figures.Itconcludesthat the fideicommissumand the trust are institutes that serve the same purpose, but the modern trust acquired a multitude of its own peculiarities, moving away from the Roman figure, but preserving the same structure and function: the transmission of an asset, based on fides, to a third party to manage it for the benefit of others
