CESTUI QUE TRUST, A barbarous phrase, to signify the beneficiary of an 
estate held in trust. He for whose benefit another person is enfeoffed or 
seised of land or tenements, or is possessed of personal property. The 
cestui que trust is entitled to receive the rents and profits of the land; 
he may direct such conveyances, consistent with the trust, deed or will, as 
he shall choose, and the trustee (q.v.) is bound to execute them: he may 
defend his title in the name of the trustee. 1 Cruise, Dig. tit. 12, c. 4,
