Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Trust?
A Trust is a legal structure where trustees hold and manage assets for the benefit of named beneficiaries. It offers strong protection, tax advantages, and long-term flexibility.
Do I lose control of my assets if they go into a Trust?
No. While the Trust becomes the legal owner, you can remain a trustee and continue to manage the assets — provided decisions are made according to Trust law and the trust deed.
What assets can be put into a Trust?
Common assets include homes, rental properties, business shares, investments, cash, and family assets.
Is a Trust suitable for tax planning?
Yes. Trusts can offer tax advantages, depending on your situation. We provide guidance to ensure your Trust is used appropriately and efficiently.
How often does a Trust need to be reviewed?
We recommend reviewing your Trust every 1–2 years, or when major life or business changes occur.
Can you help with an existing Trust?
Absolutely. We review, update, restructure, and ensure full compliance for existing Trusts — including preparing financial statements and tax returns.
Do I need a Trust if I only own one property?
It depends on your goals. For many individuals, protecting their family home is reason enough to establish a Trust. We advise based on your specific situation.
