What is a Trust exactly? Originating from the time of the Crusades, Trusts were set up by wealthy landowners to ensure their affairs were managed by a Trusted person whilst they were away. Unfortunately, many did not return! However, they had the peace of mind that their estate would be passed on or divided according to their wishes: thanks to their foresight in Setting Up a Trust.
Different types of Trusts are widely used to protect, guide and provide for those whom we care about. As life in general has become more complex, Trusts have evolved to match new needs and head off potential injustices during your lifetime and after your death.
From Family Trusts to Gift Trusts or Home Protection Trusts, you will find Enigma’s Trust Law knowledge and guidance easy to understand and access here in the North East.
Two key areas of Trusts exist today as they did in the times of old – Trusts during lifetime and Trusts set-up on death. There are many types of Trusts and is important to seek professional advice on which is relevant to your needs and situation.
