adj. a legal fiction for treating a situation as if it were actually so. Some examples
help to clarify this term a) although Jeremiah Gotrocks does not have the jewelry
in his possession, he has the key to the safe deposit box and the right to enter
so he has "constructive possession"; b) although there is no written trust document,
George Holder has picked up $10,000 in bearer bonds from the post office box of
his niece Tess Truehart, who gave him her post office box combination while she
was traveling in Europe-this makes Holder her "constructive trustee. "
