Property Trust

Have you ever wondered what a ‘Protective’ Property Trust is and who inherits your wealth after your demise? Do you want your property, assets and wealth going to your children and loved ones only (and no one else) after you die? Have you thought about the effect later life care might have on your savings, investments, and even your home? Most people make the mistake of assuming that their assets will automatically pass on to their children or loved ones in due course, yet this isn’t always the case unless specific arrangements have been made to protect your assets from being used for other purposes, such as to pay care home fees.

A Property Trust Guarantees Inheritance

Anyone who has assets valued at over £23,250 (including their family home) may not get any state help at all as far as residential care fees is concerned. In the end, anyone living in their own house as the owner will likely not receive any assistance, where the home can even be sold in order to fund residential care.

A Property Trust, once established, can help you protect your estate and other properties from being used to pay for residential care fees. You can create a Property Trust whilst both parties are alive – usually, with couples, the property is divided down the line on a 50/50 basis, although these percentages tend to fluctuate sometimes. When one of the spouse dies, their share of the property is put into the Trust which is then administered by the Trustees.

Once you get a Will written professionally, it will specify who the ultimate beneficiary is of this property share – normally, it’s the surviving children of the deceased. Under the Property Trust’s terms, the surviving spouse can live in the property for as long as they wish. Once the second spouse dies, the Trust is dissolved, where the property’s ownership will be fully passed on to the beneficiaries because the surviving spouse does not have any ownership share in the deceased’s property.

At any point, should the surviving spouse wish to sell the property to move to another one, the sale proceeds may be used to buy the second property where the terms of the Trust automatically shift to the second property as well.

Peace Of Mind During Your Lifetime And After Your Demise

Since full protection is afforded to the beneficiaries, your children’s inheritance is guaranteed even if the surviving spouse remarries. This last benefit will certainly be of particular interest to couples who have children from multiple partners. A Property Trust can aid each individual in a relationship, ensuring that their respective children inherit their due property share, while also affording the surviving partner the ability to live on the property for as long as they wish.

All in all, a Property Trust can give you a lot of peace of mind if you have a property and want to protect its value in the best way possible for future generations. Our highly trained legal consultants will assess your personal circumstances and recommend what to include in the Property Trust, so that you and your future generations reap the most benefit, as well as get their due share after your demise.
