Choice 1
Choice 2
Trusts are used for a number of reasons. They help you maintain control over your assets after your death. They are used to cover such issues as:
· Providing for a disabled child/person and preventing them from losing benefits or Local Authority funding stopped for having a large inheritance.
· Providing for a vulnerable person – ie. someone who may have drink/drug problems – and preventing them from losing means-tested benefits.
· Giving money to someone who already has a substantial estate – ie preventing the inheritance going directly to their estate so that they will be charged IHT upon their own death.
· Providing for beneficiaries under a discretionary trust.
