Answer to Question 1

Constructive trusts are imposed by courts to rectify misconduct, to prevent unjust enrichment, or to undo a morally wrong situation. Misconduct includes abuse of a confidential relationship, actual fraud, undue influence, or duress. Rather than reflect the intent of the parties, a constructive trust represents a court's attempt to achieve an equitable and just result.
