EQUITY AND TRUSTS AGREEMENTS

Why Do You Need a Trust Deed?

When you assign a property under a trust for some beneficiary, you should appoint a trustee to administer it. Generally, trust funds give discretionary powers to the trustee to execute it as he sees fit. As a result, in a discretionary trust, the trustee is not obligated to release the funds either to the settlor or the beneficiary.

Unlike companies, trusts do not have to register themselves. When it comes to enforceability, the trust deed is usually the only evidence on which rulings are based because a trust deed outlines the rules that govern a trust fund. To prevent abuse of powers by the trustee, and to retain control of the trust property, you should issue a declaration of trust. Such a declaration of trust not only gives the settlor the rights over the property, but it also ensures that the nominee remains the beneficiary.

“A Trust Deed prevents abuse of powers by the trustee and outlines that rules that govern a trust fund and its utilization.”

When Do You Need a Trust Deed?

A trust deed outlines what a trustee can and can’t do. In a trust, unlike in mortgages, the settlor grants irrevocable rights to the trustee to administer it as he sees fit. Any clause that you introduce regarding the execution of the fund can be vetoed or removed from the constitution by the trustees unless specific provisions are made against it. To prevent this, your deed of trust should have ironclad clauses that force the trustee to act within a framework.

Since a transfer of property under a trust is an assignment, trustees have the ‘power of sale’ where they are authorized to sell the property after giving due notice to the beneficiary or the settlor. A trustee is also entitled to reimburse himself any reasonable expenses incurred in relation to the trust. Unless these provisions are explicit, the judicial interpretation will be vague.
