What is trust?

A Trust is a legal arrangement that allows you to leave money and things you own (your ‘assets’) to a person or people (the ‘beneficiaries’) when you die. A trust can be managed by family, friends or a solicitor (the ‘trustees’). All your assets put together form your ‘estate’. Your life insurance is an asset and can be put into a trust in the same way as anything else.

Why is it important to put your life insurance into trust?

Putting your life insurance in trust is a way of protecting the payout your loved ones could expect to claim if you were to die unexpectedly. A trust can separate your policy from the rest of your assets, protecting any potential pay-out from inheritance tax.

Key Benefits of Putting Life Insurance in Trust:

Control: You determine who receives the pay-out and how it’s managed.
Speed: Faster pay-out to beneficiaries, as probate delays are minimized.
Tax Efficiency: Potentially reduces inheritance tax liability by keeping the policy out of your estate.

By placing your life insurance within a trust, you can ensure your wishes are fulfilled and your loved ones receive the benefits of your policy more quickly and efficiently.

We as expert protection advisers can help you navigate the process of setting up a trust for your life insurance and ensure it meets your unique needs.
