Q

When may a stranger become liable?

A

If the beneficiary has suffered a loss due to the actions of a trustee or fiduciary but they are insolvent or have no money, the beneficiary may has a personal claim against a stranger who has means to pay. In certain circumstances a stranger can become liable as if they were a trustee if equity imposes a constructive trust on them
