Trust

What Is A Trust?

A trust is a legal structure created specifically to hold assets for the benefit of a beneficiary or beneficiaries. A trust enjoys specific legal protections under the laws of Malaysia. Any property, tangible or intangible, can be the subject matter of the trust. Talk to our experts if you need further clarification on this.

Why Create A Trust?

A trust can be used to help preserve and distribute wealth to meet a wide variety of personal and financial goals. Some people use them to protect assets from future claims while continuing to receive discretionary income and principal distributions from those assets. Others use them to pass wealth to future generations or to provide for charitable organisations.

Different types of trusts can be used to meet the goals of the person who establishes the trust. Some trusts require the grantor to give up control of the trust assets immediately, while others allow the grantor to retain control of the assets during his or her lifetime and to collect income from the trust prior to his or her death. It is not uncommon for someone to need more than one type of trust to meet all of their needs.

Insurance Trust

An insurance trust is a trust where the life insurance policy of the grantor is held on trust by the trustee to be executed in accordance with the grantor's instructions upon his demise. Upon the death of the grantor, the trustee executes the insurance proceeds in favour of the beneficiaries. The proceeds shall be executed on a staggered basis or as a lump sum settlement according to the instructions in the Insurance Trust.
