Trustee

Natural or legal person acting as an intermediary between two parties

Trustees can be assigned when two contract parties exchange cash or assets. They act independently of the contract parties. By transferring asset rights to the trustee, he/she adopts the legal position of an owner and can thus, for instance, exercise voting rights or divest shares on behalf of the actual owner.
