Trusts
Originating from the time of the Crusades Trusts were set up by wealthy landowners to ensure their affairs were managed by a Trusted person whilst they were away. Unfortunately many did not return however, they had the peace of mind that their estate would be passed on or divided according to their wishes.
Only for the rich? Not so today.
Trusts are widely used to protect, guide and provide for those whom we care about:
- Spouse
- Partner
- Children and Grandchildren
- Disabled Relatives
- To guide Charities in the use of a donation
- Assist in providing for Care Home Fees
- Protect against loss of assets to your beneficiaries through divorce/re-marriage/bankruptcy
- As part of effective Estate Planning
Two key areas of Trusts exist today as they did in the times of old - Trusts during lifetime and Trusts set-up on death.
