Understanding legal trusts can be a complex process. Administration of trusts solicitors can simplify this process for you. Simply.Law has a number of solicitors who have expertise in this precise legal field.
What is a trust?
A trust is a fund containing assets. These can be property, land or money and are held in trust for the beneficiary, or beneficiaries. Administration of trusts solicitors can help you make sense of the common law obligations conferred, legal rules and tax issues surrounding a trust.
A trust can be established at any point during life, or through a Will after death. Funds can be held for many years – the person who drew up the trust will normally have stipulated the number of years. The trust will need administration for processes such as:
- Managing trust investments
- Accounting for trust assets and income
- Facilitating any payments to beneficiaries
What is trust administration?
Trust administration is the responsibility of the trustees, who will manage the trust and administer the wishes of the person whose assets have been placed into trust.
