Document Overview

A Family Trust Deed is a legal instrument through which a person (called the Settlor) transfers ownership of property or assets to one or more Trustees to hold and manage for the benefit of family members (called the Beneficiaries), according to clearly stated terms and conditions.

It formally creates a Family Trust, which is a structured arrangement used to preserve, manage, and pass on family wealth while maintaining control, continuity, and protection of assets.

Family Trusts are recognized and governed under the Trustees (Perpetual Succession) Act, Cap 164, the Trusts of Land Act, and the Income Tax Act (Cap 470). They are also supported by common law principles of equity relating to trusts.
