Trusts

A trust is a legal agreement in which appointed trustees are entrusted with managing assets placed in a trust designed for the benefit of the beneficiaries. Trusts allow an individual to allocate their assets whilst maintaining an element of control over the management and utilisation of these assets for the welfare of the beneficiaries. Trusts can be created both in lifetime, or on death (via a will trust).

Trusts are suitable for many reasons and not just for high-net-worth individuals. Trusts can effectively manage estates and navigate inheritance tax planning, provide a protective layer for assets, and ensure their availability for succeeding generations.
