Why families use them
Property and family trusts can protect your share of the home for your children, even if your partner remarries after you die. They can also shield what you leave from a beneficiary's divorce or financial difficulties, and simplify matters for your executors.
Common situations
- Second marriages and blended families
- Protecting children's inheritance from future relationships
- Holding property for young or vulnerable beneficiaries
- Keeping a family property in the family across generations
