Exercising trustee powers

Reviewing trust documents

No two trusts are the same and it is important to review all trust documents, including any supporting deeds which accompany the trust deed, before decisions are taken. We can review the trust documents and summarise all of the powers which are given to you as trustee under the deed.

We can advise on how these powers should be exercised, the impact of any decisions you make and what could happen if you do not take any action.

We can also assist in situations where you think a problem has arisen, such as when a trustee may not have been appointed correctly, or if you are unsure about the authority you have to make a trust distribution to some or all of the beneficiaries of the trust.

Our extensive knowledge of trust law means we can advise you on any issues relating to the powers given to you as a trustee.

Some of the powers you may have are only exercisable in writing. We can prepare all relevant documentation to confirm decisions you have taken. This ensures that you are fully compliant with the terms of the trust while at the same time, providing a full written record of the decisions you have taken.
