Estate Planning

The majority of people prefer to decide for themselves how their assets will be disposed of when they die. This is usually made in the form of a Last Will and Testament. A trust allows more flexibility than a will and as such is an ideal medium for Estate Planning. This is achieved by appointing Trustees with powers stipulated in the deed of trust. In addition, for residents of certain countries, a Trust can be a useful vehicle for avoiding problems such as forced heirship.
