This Act stipulates that in a voluntary conveyance or in a conveyance where the consideration is nominal, a resulting trust for the grantor shall not be implied merely by reason of the absence of valuable consideration or of a substantial consideration or of any words expressly rebutting a resulting trust or by reason that the land is not expressed to be conveyed for the use or benefit of the grantee.
