Questions to ask yourself
The right choice depends on your specific circumstances. Here are the key questions to consider:
- 1 Is the original purpose still valid? Has your situation changed since the trust was set up?
- 2 Do the benefits justify the costs? Trusts have ongoing compliance and administration costs.
- 3 What about future generations? Will your children benefit from keeping the trust running?
- 4 Who are the right trustees going forward? Is there appropriate succession planning?
- 5 What are the tax implications? Of keeping, restructuring, or winding up the trust?
