What is a Trust?

A trust is a legal arrangement that allows you (the grantor or settlor) to transfer your assets to a trustee who will manage and administer them on behalf of your chosen beneficiaries. By establishing a trust, you create a separate legal entity to hold and protect your assets, providing a range of benefits such as:

1. Asset Protection: Trusts offer a robust layer of asset protection by separating your personal assets from potential creditors or legal claims. This ensures that your hard-earned wealth is shielded and preserved for the intended beneficiaries.
2. Estate Planning: Trusts are an essential component of effective estate planning. They allow for the smooth transfer of assets upon your passing, minimizing probate costs, reducing tax implications, and ensuring your beneficiaries are taken care of according to your wishes.
3. Control and Flexibility: By establishing a trust, you retain control over how your assets are managed and distributed. You can establish specific conditions, such as age restrictions or educational milestones, ensuring that your assets are used wisely and in alignment with your values.
4. Privacy: Unlike wills, trusts provide a higher level of privacy as they are not subject to public probate proceedings. This ensures that your financial matters remain confidential and protected from unwanted scrutiny.
