A trust is created for two purposes, of which one is lawful and another unlawful, two purposes cannot be separated, what will be the consequences? What would be your answer, if two purposes can be separated?

Answer & Explanation:

Every trust the purpose of which is unlawful will be void. If the object is both lawful and unlawful and two operations cannot be separated, the whole trust would be void. If two operations can be separated, it will be void as far as unlawful part of the object which can be separated. The object of the Trust must be feasible and adequately defined, otherwise, the trust agreement shall be void and the situation shall be restored to what it was before the creation of the Trust.
