When Ada’s husband passed away, her world felt like it had been torn apart. She barely had time to process her grief before whispers began among extended family, suggestions that parts of her home and belongings should now “return to the family.”
For many in her situation, this would have been the start of a painful and humiliating struggle. But Ada’s story took a different turn. Her husband, in his wisdom and love, had worked with an expert from ARM Trustees to prepare a clear will and asset plan. Every property, every investment, every wish was documented and protected.
When legal documents were presented, the tension dissolved instantly. There was no need for arguments or public disputes, only peace, clarity, and respect for her husband’s wishes.
Why You Need a Trust
That day, Ada realised that true love goes beyond words and memories. It’s also about the security you leave behind for those you cherish most. Here’s why You Need to Set up a Trust:
- Avoid Family Disputes – Without a trust, your loved ones may face arguments over property, assets, and money. A Trust makes your wishes legally binding and crystal clear.
- Protects Your Family – If your heirs are minors, financially inexperienced, or even at risk of being taken advantage of, a trust ensures their inheritance is managed responsibly.
- Maintain Privacy – Trusts keep your affairs out of public probate court records, shielding your family from unnecessary attention.
- Ensure Smooth Transfer of Assets – Trusts make it faster and easier for beneficiaries to access what you leave behind without long court delays.
- Honour Your Intentions – A trust legally ensures your assets are used exactly as you planned, leaving no room for misinterpretation or coercion.
