What is a Family Trust?
A Family Trust is a legal arrangement benefiting individuals who wish to privately structure their affairs, control assets without actually owning them, and who wish to take advantage of certain tax planning opportunities. It’s a discretionary trust that allows trustees to determine asset distribution among beneficiaries as they see fit.
Establishment of Family Trusts is common in corporate re-organizations.
