Trusts for Family Offices
Five short pieces, one subject: how families use trusts to hold, protect and pass on capital. Read them in order, or jump to the part you need.
Trusts are the most misunderstood instrument in private wealth, and among the most powerful. This series takes them one idea at a time, in plain English, with a diagram or table in each part. It moves from the mechanics to the two hardest jobs a trust does, holding wealth across generations and shielding it from creditors, and ends with the practical decisions that make the difference between a trust that works and one that only looks like it does. Start at Part 1, or pick up wherever you need.
