WHY SET UP A TRUST?

Trusts are commonly used for minimizing taxes and can offer other benefits, as part of a carefully designed estate plan.

WHAT IS A TRUST?

A Trust is a legal mechanism aimed to protect one’s assets by allowing a third party, a Trustee, to hold and direct assets in trust on behalf of named beneficiaries. You, as a Settlor or Trustor, can also be a Beneficiary of the trust fund you set up.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF
TRUST ACCOUNTS?

The main purpose of setting up a Trust is to ensure that assets are distributed according to your wishes as a trustor, protecting your assets from potential lawsuits and creditors, and, in some cases, reducing inheritance or estate taxes.

Throughout history, trusts have been used for a wide range of purposes, the most common being:

  • Avoidance of probate - Probate can cost between 5% to 7% of your estate
  • Trusts for children/grandchildren
  • Trusts for those under a disability
  • Family company shares
  • Trusts to protect assets from taxes, or creditors

MATCHING A TRUST TO YOUR NEEDS

It has been said that for every family problem or situation, there is a trust that can be constructed to suit the need. Creating the right type of trust to match your particular situation requires specialist help. A trust that might last forever needs careful planning, but the benefits can last just as long if you take specialist advice beforehand.
