Trusts are a great means of protecting your assets for you and the next generations of your family.

Setting up a Trust allows you to transfer assets to Trustees who must use these assets for a particular purpose or purposes to benefit an individual or group of individuals known as the beneficiaries.

You determine which people benefit and for what purpose the assets can be used.

Purdie Maclean can also help with the day to day running and administration of the Trust.
