PI Trust Checklist – Hints and tips for trustees:   

   

On day 1:

 
  • Notify the benefits authorities about the trust.
    •     
  • Set  up a 'trustee bank account' rather than a normal current account.
    •    
 From then on, don't forget to: 
  • Make confident decisions and don't be swayed from your trustee duties
    •     
  • Ensure your financial adviser is fully independent and not tied to a financial services company.
    •     
  • Buy property in the trustees' names, not the beneficiary's name.
    •     
  • Disclose the trust when applying for care benefits
    •     
  • File tax returns
    •
