Trusts

Trust advice for family and asset planning

A trust is not a generic answer to every estate or asset question. The purpose, assets, control, beneficiaries and ongoing administration must be understood first.

What clients usually ask

Can a trust protect every asset?

No general guarantee can be made. The legal and practical effect depends on the structure, assets, transactions and administration.

The usual first steps

  1. Clarify the purpose and people involved.
  2. Assess the proposed assets and governance.
  3. Explain the structure, documents and ongoing responsibilities.

What to bring

Bring the agreement, court papers, notices, messages, dates and records that show what happened. Preserve original documents and electronic evidence without altering them.
