Trust Formation

Setting up trusts to manage and protect assets across generations.

What this involves

Trust deeds are drafted under the Trust Act, 1882 with clear terms on purpose, beneficiaries, and trustee powers.

We advise on trustee selection and document their duties clearly, reducing the risk of future disputes over how the trust is managed.

Family trusts are structured to manage shared assets across generations while limiting friction between beneficiaries.

For clients establishing a charitable trust, we handle the formation and structuring required for it to operate on a lawful footing.
