Trust is a concept derived from Anglo-Saxon idea and is existing from millennia. The main object of the trust is to regulate the family wealth and the same is accomplished by transferring assets to the trusted friends or other parties to shield the assets from spendthrift heirs or seizure by third parties.  Moreover, from the last 60 years, creation of trust has been expanded to cover business transactions and widely utilized as a significant tool in international estate, inheritance and tax planning.

What is the basic concept of Trust and how does it work?

The trust is created by the settlor, and he appoints the trustee who can be an individual or corporate entity liable to keep the assets of trust secure and to transfer it later to the beneficiary. For better understanding the diagram is mentioned below:

What are the benefits and advantages of having Trust?

There are various benefits of establishing Trust in UAE as it helps in protection of your assets from lawsuits and lessen the liability of tax. Moreover, it also helps to avoid the probate procedure wherein judge distributes assets to the parties in will. Therefore, the use of a trust may improve the sometimes-needed flexibility in succession and inheritance planning. The settlor has considerable latitude in determining beneficial rights. Furthermore, a trust is meant to preserve property rights; the trust streamlines estate transfer to future generations as well as asset restructuring and diversification. The property and other assets given to the trust are not the settlor’s property and cannot be taken away or adjudicated upon (e.g., by divorce).
