Use your wealth to build a legacy
A trust is a legal persona established between a Founder and Trustees for the benefit of beneficiaries. The role of the Trustees is all important due to the fact the Trustees are effectively the custodians and stewards of the assets held by the Trust. The Trustees accordingly decide what assets are received, acquired, sold and when any benefits and distributions will be made to eligible beneficiaries.
Trusted advisor every step of the way
The role of the Independent Trustee can be fraught with exposure to numerous parties including but not limited to SARS, banks, creditors, beneficiaries and a number of other vagaries and understandably not many people wish to undertake the Independent Trustee role and if they are prepared to accept the position, the fees and costs can be exorbitant or based on a percentage of the assets held by the trust, the latter model in our view is inequitable and very expensive.
iProtect has pioneered a fixed fee solution that is transparent and one of the lowest in the marketplace.
Fees aside, it is imperative that the Independent Trustee is knowledgeable and has expertise in a number of areas that the Trust will require guidance and assistance in, namely:
- Legal (corporate, commercial, insolvency, divorce, litigation etc).
- Tax (planning and advice).
- Operationally (acquisition and sale of assets, resolutions, proxies, agreements and documents etc).
- Administration and compliance.
- Accounting oversight.
- Dispute resolution.
- Continuity.
Trusteeship and fiduciary made simple
iProtect Advisory representatives that will act as the Independent Trustee to a Trust are experts and specialist Attorneys with legal, commercial, accounting, administration, and tax experience. This ensures that the Trust will receive expert advice and guidance in all the areas listed above in comparison to many Trustees who only have skills in one or a few of the above areas which will result in the Trust facing extra costs and charges to navigate any one of the areas listed above.
We have over 25 years of experience in this field and based on this we noted the dire need for proper administration which prompted us to develop a system, iProtect Exchange, that allows our clients to manage their structures, assets, investments, expenditure and letters of wishes via our digital platform. To demonstrate our commitment to our clients in ensuring that they correctly plan their estates we offer a 0% executor’s fee service. This is a world first! Click here for further information.
