Property Trust

You've spent years building it. A Property Trust means the people you choose benefit from it, not creditors, not the taxman, not circumstance. Simple, legal, and set up properly from day one.

What is Property Trust?

A Property Trust is a legal arrangement for protection of property. It allows the owner of property (known as the Settlor) to transfer legal ownership of that property to the Trustees or a company.

The legal definition of property is anything with monetary value (Property, businesses, shares, investments, high-value art, jewellery, cars and so on).

Why do I need Property Trust?

There are many reasons why a trust would be used, and many types of trusts based on purpose for protection. For example, parents may wish to leave their family home for disabled member of family or for grandchildren and or to mitigate Inheritance Tax and so on.

How Property Trust Protects you

Once your property is held in Trust, it is managed by appointed Trustees solely for the benefit of your named beneficiaries. Crucially, Trustees have no personal entitlement to Trust property. Their role is legal management only, meaning your assets stay protected from third party creditors and external claims against your estate.

Every effective Property Trust requires three key parties:

Settlor — the owner who transfers the property
Trustees — the legal managers who protect it
Beneficiaries — the people legally entitled to benefit from it

A TRUST must be set up as a legal arrangement through a specialised solicitors and must be accompanied with a WILL and Letter of Wishes from a Settlor.
