What does Accumulate mean in American Law?
The definition of Accumulate in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:
Rather a broad word, capacious enough to encompass some of the meanings of, e.g., accrete and accrue. It can mean “pile up,” i.e., what happens when there is an in-flow but, at least temporarily, no out-flow. Frequently the term is important when a fiduciary is given the right or duty to “accumulate,” i.e., to take the produce of the corpus of a trust (interest, dividends, etc.) and reinvest it, without necessarily making any current distributions to any beneficiary. See also accumulation.
