Running A Family Trust

Page 2: The Running Of A Family Trust

A trust continues beyond the lifetime of the

settlor.

You can take advantage of this opportunity

during your lifetime to observe your trust fund,

even if you don’t wish for assets to be

distributed yet.

Arrangements & Sanctions

The outcome of your trust arrangement is dependent onyour own situation.

If you have put special measures in place for certainbeneficiaries then these will be observed and applied

by the trustee.

Distribution of Assets

In straight-forward circumstances, assets can

be distributed easily and quickly.

This is an advantage to leaving your assets

in a will.

Page 5: The Running Of A Family Trust

With a discretionary trust, you have the

option to not distribute assets.

Your trustee will organise the transfer of the

assets to your beneficiaries when the trust

comes into effect or when they are entitled

to them.

Page 6: The Running Of A Family Trust

Assets such as property, cars, antiques or

houses will legally be considered to

belong to the trustee when the trust

comes into effect.

Any taxes or other charges owed on any

properties will become the responsibility of

the named trustee.
