Trust Registration

Trust registration is the official process of legally establishing a trust, a fiduciary arrangement where a donor transfers assets to a trustee to hold and manage for the benefit of a beneficiary. 

Trust Drafting & Registration Services

We specialise in the drafting and registration of Inter Vivos and Testamentary Trusts, tailored to suit your estate planning and asset protection needs.

Inter Vivos Trusts

An Inter Vivos Trust is created and registered during your lifetime. It is an effective tool for managing and protecting assets while providing flexibility in how they are distributed to beneficiaries.

Testamentary Trusts

A Testamentary Trust is created upon your death and forms part of your last will and testament. It is especially useful for providing for minor children, dependants with special needs, or for protecting assets after your passing.

TRUST REGISTRATIONS & ESTATES

Why should you set up a trust?

  • Trusts are powerful tools for:
  • Estate planning
  • Asset protection
  • Preserving wealth across generations
  • Managing assets for vulnerable or minor beneficiaries

How it works

The trust is governed by a legal document called a Trust Deed / Instrument, which outlines the purpose, terms, and beneficiaries of the trust. Once drafted, the deed is registered with the Master of the High Court.

The trust is then administered by appointed trustees who act in a fiduciary capacity, in the best interests of the beneficiaries.
