What Is The Benefit of A Private Express Trust vs Corporations

The private express trust is governed by its indenture (trust contract), unlike the corporation which is a government franchise and governed by statute. Trustees are the sole authority and are afforded more leverage than a board of directors of a corporation. The Trustees' liability is limited by the trust, and the trust documentation is not subject to subpoena, whereas corporate officers are bound by legislation and cannot escape service of process or subpoena of records.
