Understanding Trust Registration

Understanding Trust Registration

A trust is a legal arrangement where a person (settlor) transfers assets to a trustee, who manages them for the benefit of designated beneficiaries. Trusts are widely used for wealth protection, charitable purposes, and estate planning.

1

Trust Deed Formation

Legal document defining objectives, trustees, and governing rules.

2

Fiduciary Responsibility

Trustees manage assets with accountability and transparency.

3

Separate Legal Identity

Operates independently from settlor and beneficiaries.

4

Long-Term Continuity

Ensures long-term asset protection as per trust objectives.

Registered trusts enjoy legal protection of assets, ensuring property and funds are safeguarded from personal or external disputes. Trust registration also enables perpetual succession, allowing the trust to continue its objectives irrespective of changes in trustees or members. Additionally, registered charitable and public trusts may become eligible for government grants, funding programs, and institutional support.
