What are discretionary trusts?

Discretionary trusts (which are also often called family trusts) are a commonly used vehicle to hold business, property or other investment assets.  When discretionary trusts are used correctly, they offer a high level of asset protection and taxation flexibility.

There are a number of ways in which a discretionary trust can be established.  In most circumstances, we recommend that a properly prepared discretionary trust deed be used.

• Our deeds are bespoke – your instructions are reviewed by a lawyer and the document is drafted and considered by a lawyer, rather than an ‘off the shelf’ document prepared with little to know human interaction.
