Securing Assets
Trusts and foundations are two solid structures for keeping assets safe.
The guiding principle for trusts and foundations is the same: appoint specific, skilled individuals to manage and administer assets. These people—trustees or board members—carry out the intention of the trust or foundation.
Specific Scenarios
Often, people wish to pass along their possessions to coming generations. This can mean transferring anything from a family business to a cherished art collection to the next generation.
Trusts are also widely used to secure an individual’s education. Still another use for the structure: philanthropic purposes.
The trust can also be used as a tax-planning tool: placing assets in this structure optimises taxes.
United Trust as Third Party
Depending on the kind of structure you have created, we act as trustees and board members, staying faithful to the wishes of the structure’s creator.
