Education of trustees and beneficiaries

A common feature in many family trusts (where the grandparents or parents are trustees) is a mutual need for education. For children or grandchildren who will receive trust or other assets on attaining a particular age e.g. 18, they need to understand how best to enhance, preserve and distribute their wealth as and when it comes under their control.

For trustees we can provide instruction on their duties and options and for the beneficiaries we can provide courses to provide the needed level of understanding and to promote the 3 pillars of productivity, prosperity and philanthropy; all necessary if life balance is to be achieved.
