Trusts can be created by a Will or during life.

They can include provisions which confer benefits including money, property etc.

The benefits can be made on either an absolute or discretionary basis.

Circumstances may arise whereby someone may wish to make provision for a family member or third party but it is inappropriate to make an absolute gift. For example if the family member or third party is under a disability or lacks capacity.

We can advise on the preparation of trusts to cover such situations both general and discretionary.
