A trust is a legal arrangement where one party, known as the trustee, holds and manages assets for the benefit of another party, the beneficiary. Trusts are a versatile legal tool, offering various benefits such as asset protection, tax efficiency, and the ability to manage and distribute assets according to specific wishes and instructions.
• Asset Protection: Trusts can safeguard assets from creditors and legal claims, providing a layer of security for the beneficiaries.
• Estate Planning: Trusts facilitate the smooth transfer of assets to heirs, reducing the potential for disputes and delays associated with probate.
• Tax Efficiency: Properly structured trusts can offer tax advantages, helping to minimise estate and income taxes.
• Control and Flexibility: Trusts allow for detailed instructions on how assets should be managed and distributed, ensuring that the founder’s wishes are honoured.
