Trusts date back hundreds of years and are essential in current and future tax planning. Unlike a company, a trust is not a legal entity. It is best described as a relationship or an arrangement whereby property is transferred from one person (the settlor) to another person (the trustee) who holds the property for the benefit of specified people or objects (the beneficiaries). The trust deed (the legal document) sets out the specific terms and conditions upon which the trustees must hold and administer the trust assets. The trust deed also sets out the rights and interests of the beneficiaries. A Trust can have a bank account the same as an individual or a company.
