At last – a trust for the middle market

Your client needs a trust, right?

 

Imagine a situation where there is:

  • No need to register a trust deed
  • Access to funds from day one
  • No need to appoint trustees
  • A simple process in place
  • Transparency on costs
  • Peace of mind that funds are safely invested with best of breed investment managers.

You need look no further than the Fairheads Legacy Trust which does all the above – and more.

 

The Legacy Trust has been structured as a cost-effective, professionally administered umbrella trust to safeguard assets on behalf of beneficiaries. The product is based on Fairheads' experience in trusteeship for over 90 years as well as our superior administration as Southern Africa's leading independent benefits administrator.

 

The Legacy Trust can accept assets from:

  • Deceased estates
  • Inter vivos trusts
  • Testamentary bequests
  • Road Accident Fund (RAF)
  • Medical malpractice payments
  • Life insurance payments
  • Disability policies
  • Retirement funds
  • Private trusts
  • Discretionary savings for education or any other purpose

Why the Legacy Trust?

  • Our client-centric approach means that clients experience a service that is efficient and accessible, with a state-of-the art contact centre and regional walk-in centres.
  • Trusteeship - access to trustee services is available from experienced trustees with legal and fiduciary qualifications
  • Communication – clients receive annual financial statements, an annual investment report, annual tax information if applicable and an annual newsletter.
  • Benefits of scale – leading to reduced costs
  • Strong governance – we ensure that the benefits promised in terms of the rules are actually delivered; that the benefits are optimal with minimal risks; and that the process of delivery of these benefits is credible and worthy of the trust of the beneficiaries
  • Independent, best-of-breed investment managers – institutional investment fees are negotiated on behalf of beneficiaries, and an investment policy statement is in place. Investment allocations can be tailored to meet individual needs, or our default allocation model can be used.

Think about it

 

The estate planning advantages of trusts are well known, but trusts have traditionally been beyond the reach of the man in the street. Where stand-alone trusts have been set up they are often unnecessarily expensive and a burden to administer.

 

Imagine a scenario in which your client is mentally incapacitated through an accident and their loved ones need swift access to liquid assets for their care. You can now nominate the Fairheads Legacy Trust to accept benefits from a disability policy.

 

Your client specifies a testamentary trust for their minor children in their Will – instead of a stand-alone trust, you can now nominate the Fairheads Legacy Trust to accept testamentary bequests.

 

 

There are many other uses. Speak to us now!
