Asset Holding Trusts

Trusts have traditionally been used for the purposes of holding assets, and their use in this way is still extremely popular today. They differentiate between the legal and beneficial ownership of the assets and can protect the family wealth in a variety of circumstances, such as protection from hostile legislation, estate planning, tax saving, and forced heirship. They can also provide anonymity.

They are now very popular in controlling the cascade of wealth down the generations while providing some protection from inexperienced beneficiaries, opportunists and divorce.
