Top Questions for Trusts
Why have a Trust?
A Trust can offer a layer of protection for the assets held within in it if the beneficiary were, for example, to go through a divorce or face bankruptcy. An outright gift to someone in such a situation could result in the gifted assets passing out of that person’s control, to a former spouse or to a trustee in bankruptcy.
When should I set up a Trust?
A Trust can either be created in your Will so that it only commences on your death, or it can be created in your lifetime and start immediately.
You can then leave a further sum of money to the trust under the terms of your Will. We can discuss this with you and advise you of all the options available to you.
What can I put into Trust?
Money and property are the most common, but you can put anything into the Trust.
Items in the Trust are distributed as and when to beneficiaries of the Trust, which will include your child with a learning disability, by the Trustees.
The letter of wishes you will have written often acts as guidance for the Trustees.
Are Trusts subject to Tax?
Trusts are subject to tax in their own right but they can also be useful for tax planning purposes. A transfer of assets to a Trust during lifetime can reduce the inheritance tax payable on the Settlor’s death by reducing the value of his or her chargeable estate. The transfer of assets to a Trust for a beneficiary with a low level of income and gains can result in lower rates of income and capital gains tax.
What is a Property Protection Probate Trust?
A Property Protection Probate Trust (PPPT) is a type of Trust that can protect your property against outside interference.
How does a Property Protection Probate Trust work?
Unlike other Trust Wills that are activated upon your death, an PPPT immediately transfers your desired assets into a Trust to be managed by your chosen trustees.
What happens to the Trust when I die?
Upon your passing, your estate will be held in Trust for your chosen beneficiaries.
