In the past it was enough for a trustee to simply be a trustworthy individual. However, the role and responsibilities of a trustee have become much more complex. Since the Trustee Act 2000 became law, the advent of increased regulation and litigation means the duties of a trustee have taken on a whole new dimension.
WAY Trustees:
- are fully conversant with and understand the terms of the trust;
- regularly review the needs of the beneficiaries;
- are sympathetic to the needs of the settlor (you) whilst not compromising their responsibilities to the beneficial class (your beneficiaries);
- ensure beneficiaries are treated fairly at all times;
- act impartially and do not allow personal opinions and prejudices to influence actions;
- ensure investments held by the trust are suitable and expose the trust to an appropriate amount of risk;
- periodically review the investments, taking advice from qualified professional advisers to ensure they continue to be suitable;
- consider tax implications for the trust, the settlor and beneficiaries;
- register the trust with HMRC and provide ongoing administrative support in relation to The Trustee Act 2000 which is the legislation that all trustees must adhere to.
WAY Trustees of course wants to reassure both existing and future Settlors that it is operating in accordance with all of the above requirements.
Just as importantly, WAY Trustees has a sensitive and conscientious approach to delivering its efforts on behalf of the trusts it manages. Nobody knows what the future holds for them or their families and so it is necessary for trustees to respond appropriately to events as they happen and to do their best to look after the interests of all beneficiaries.
