Unlike a Will, a Living Trust remains private and can provide asset protection, tax efficiency, and flexibility. It’s the ideal solution for individuals looking to manage their wealth efficiently while ensuring their wishes are fulfilled throughout their lifetime.

Why Choose
a Living Trust?

Confidentiality

Unlike a Will, a Living Trust is not a public document, meaning it doesn’t need to be registered with the probate court. This ensures that your trust arrangement remains highly confidential, protecting your privacy.

Asset protection

A Living Trust is a powerful tool for asset protection. Once assets are transferred to the trust, they are no longer owned by the Settlor, offering protection from creditors.

Tax Efficiency

Living Trusts can assist in legitimate tax planning, particularly for individuals with offshore assets, allowing for the avoidance of unnecessary taxation.

Flexibility and Freedom of Choice

A Living Trust offers the flexibility to transmit wealth according to the Settlor’s wishes, with the added benefit of being amendable as circumstances change.

Ability to Test Run Your Trust

A Living Trust allows you to test the arrangement during your lifetime, ensuring that it functions as intended before your passing.

Appointment of a Protector or Guardian

You have the option to appoint a Protector or Guardian to oversee the trust’s administration, ensuring it is managed according to your wishes.

Highly Private and Confidentia

Living Trusts are administered privately, maintaining utmost discretion and confidentiality. The unique name of the trust further enhances privacy.

Administered by a Trust Deed

The Living Trust is governed by a legally binding Trust Deed, ensuring that your assets are handled appropriately by the appointed Trustees.

Separate Management of Assets

Once assets are transferred to the trust, they are managed separately in secure, approved instruments. In the case of a blind trust, the Trustee has full discretion over the assets.
