Trusteeships can be intricate, time consuming or simply unfamiliar to many people newly appointed as a trustee.
The benefits of a 'professional trustee'
A professional trustee can be a helpful alternative to appointing family members on their own. Benefits to appointing a professional trustee include:
-
Reducing the burden on family trustees;
-
Reducing the risk of a conflict of interest between trustees;
-
Overcoming any disruptions caused by the retirement or absence of an individual solicitor if they are the professional trustee;
-
Assisting with difficult or controversial decisions; and
-
Assisting with trustee processes and regulatory requirements (such as FATCA obligations (Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act).
Please see our article on The benefits to families of appointing a corporate trustee explaining the benefits of having a professional trustee.
