Trust Services
What is a trust?
A trust is an arrangement, defined by law, where someone or a group of people are made responsible for assets for the benefit of another group of people. The people assigned to administer the trust are known as trustees and those benefiting, the beneficiaries. The person who sets up the trust is known as the settlor. The assets are then held in the trust and will be released at the desired time. For example this might be on a desired date, or event such as someone turning 18 and becoming an adult.
