If you have a specific purpose in mind when it comes to utilising your assets, a specific purpose trust might be the perfect choice for you. Our lawyers can draft custom-made deeds to suit any purpose you require.

Specific purpose trusts play a unique role within the trust world and require a uniquely specialised lawyer. Antunes Lawyers are more than fit for the task.

Like traditional trusts, specific purpose trusts still require a trustee to manage the trust, comply with their fiduciary duties under the law, and follow the requirements of the trust deed but this is where most of the similarities end. Unlike traditional trusts, specific purposes do not have any beneficiaries or a charitable purpose, and when their purpose is fulfilled, the trust is vested unless the deed states otherwise.

Specific purpose trusts are most commonly used to purchase or maintain a burial plot after the original asset holder is deceased, to pay for the care of animals that are considered assets (such as a racehorse), or to fund projects and initiatives that aren’t created by registered charities. If you think a specific purpose trust might be the right fit for your needs, our lawyers can assist you in taking the next step.
