Testamentary Trust
Legal arrangement created by an individual
What is a Testamentary Trust?
A testamentary trust, established by a Last Will and Testament, activates upon the creator's death to manage and distribute assets as per their wishes. It ensures structured asset distribution, potentially offering tax advantages, creditor protection, and beneficiary asset management guidance. Unit trusts in South Africa are appealing for businesses aiming to expand capital, increase income, or diversify investments. They provide professional management, diversification, and liquidity, supporting businesses in meeting financial objectives and maintaining market competitiveness.
Benefits of a Testamentary Trust
A life insurance trust can help prevent family disputes by providing a clear plan for how the insurance proceeds will be distributed, and by appointing a neutral third-party trustee to manage the funds. This can help avoid potential conflicts among family members and provide greater peace of mind for the policyholder.
Life insurance trust assets are generally protected from creditors, which can provide added security for the beneficiaries.
The trust allows the policyholder to dictate how the insurance proceeds are distributed, and the trustee can manage the funds for the benefit of the beneficiaries over time.
Unlike a will, the terms of a life insurance trust are private and not a matter of public record, providing added privacy for the policyholder and their beneficiaries.
