Trust
A legal agreement for a third party to hold and manage assets for the benefit of a person or group of people.
The people (or organisations) managing the assets are known as the trustees. The people who can benefit from the assets are known as the beneficiaries.
The term ‘settlor’ or ‘donor’ is used to describe the person who puts assets into the trust in the first place.
