With our advice, a well-structured trust could become an effective tool in your arsenal for protecting your assets and achieving tax advantages.

For those who are just beginning to learn about trusts, in simple terms, a trust is a relationship between a trustee and one or more beneficiaries. The trustee, who legally owns the assets, takes responsibility for administering the trust for the benefit of the beneficiary. The main purpose and advantage of trusts is that they can provide significant legal protection of your assets in circumstances where you go bankrupt, if you get divorced, or when you pass away.

Trusts come in many shapes, sizes, purposes, structures, and circumstances. So when dealing with trusts – as an individual or a business – it’s important to seek out legal advice to guarantee that your trust is structured to suit your situation and achieve its intended objectives.
