What a trust actually gives you
Asset protection is the main one: assets placed in a trust are legally separated from your personal estate, which shields them from individual creditors and preserves them for your designated beneficiaries. There are also potential tax advantages and estate duty savings, though the right answer depends entirely on your circumstances, which is what the free assessment is for.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Why should I register a trust?
The primary benefit is asset protection and financial security. When you place personal or business assets into a trust, they are legally separated from your personal estate. That shields them from individual creditors and ensures they are preserved and managed for your designated beneficiaries.
What does it cost?
We handle the entire setup and registration process for a flat service fee of R6,500.
Where is the trust registered?
All trusts are officially processed and registered with the Master of the High Court. Before you begin, we provide a free initial assessment and professional advice on whether a trust is the right structure for your goals.
