What Is a Trust?

A trust is a legal arrangement through which assets or property are administered by trustees for the benefit of nominated beneficiaries or for a defined purpose.

Trusts may be established for various reasons, including estate planning, asset administration, family wealth management, business purposes or charitable objectives.

The appropriate trust structure and documentation will depend on your specific circumstances and objectives.

Why Register a Trust?

Depending on your circumstances and objectives, a trust can provide a formal structure for managing assets and interests over time.

A trust may be considered for:

Estate Planning

Create a structured framework for the administration and management of assets.

Family Wealth

Provide continuity in the management of assets intended to benefit family members or future generations.

Asset Management

Place specified assets under the administration of appointed trustees in accordance with the trust deed.

Charitable or Specific Purposes

Trusts can also be established to pursue defined charitable or other objectives.

Because trusts can have important legal and tax implications, professional legal, financial or tax advice may be appropriate when deciding whether a trust is the right structure for you.
