Trusts

A Trust is a legal document whereby property (which might be cash or property) is held for the benefit of one or more individuals (known as beneficiaries) by other individuals (known as trustees).

A written or implied set of rules govern the administration of any Trust. A written Trust deed ensures that both the trustees and the beneficiaries are aware of their respective duties and rights (if applicable). It is possible for Trusts to arise from relationships and transactions between the parties, or by operation of law. These are known as implied Trusts.

Trusts are often set up either for tax planning purposes or in order to protect capital and wealth for the individual and for their families.

There are a number of different Trusts to suit differing needs. Our expert team administers a wide range of Trusts, from the simple to those with highly complex and valuable assets.
