Trusts
Living Trust Services
Our living trust services are personalised according to your unique circumstances and help you to preserve your wealth for future generations. A trust is a fiduciary relationship in which one party, known as a trustor, gives another party, the trustee, the right to hold title to property or assets for the benefit of a third party, the beneficiary.
The right trust, managed by the right professionals ensures that your wealth is properly secured for the future. We work with clients to draft documentation that establishes and administers their Trust. Establishing a suitable trust requires careful consideration, consultation and planning.
