Trust Protection for Vulnerable Beneficiaries

A client’s child stood to inherit significant assets but faced uncertain life circumstances. We designed a discretionary trust to provide financial security while keeping options open. The structure protected the beneficiary from potential exploitation or poor decision-making, yet allowed for flexibility as needs evolved – whether around housing, education, or care. We worked closely with the family to explain the trustee’s role, the importance of letters of wishes, and how distributions could be managed sensitively. The result: peace of mind today, and adaptive, responsible protection for tomorrow.
