El producto en detalle

The Gift Trust is the simplest thing in this range, and the simplicity is the feature. A client who is giving capital away, does not want it back, and does not need an income from it should not be sold a structure with a loan account, a discount calculation or a release schedule attached. They need a trust deed and a date.

Two versions exist because two quite different intentions get described the same way. An absolute trust fixes the beneficiaries at outset: the named person is entitled, and the trustees hold the property for them until they are able to receive it. A discretionary trust names a class instead, and leaves the trustees to decide who gets what and when.

The choice is not about tax first. It is about whether the client knows, today, who should benefit and in what proportion. A parent gifting to one adult child with settled circumstances is usually describing an absolute trust; a grandparent gifting for grandchildren, some of whom are not yet born, is describing a discretionary one.

Cómo funciona

Qué ocurre, en orden

Desde la primera consulta hasta el momento en que la cobertura, el contrato o la línea queda en vigor.

  1. Absolute or discretionary is decided

    Fixed beneficiaries, or a class with trustee discretion. This is the substantive decision and it is difficult to undo.

  2. The deed is executed and the gift made

    The seven-year clock starts on the date of the gift. There is no minimum.

  3. The trustees invest the trust property

    Our bond range, or external assets — the deed does not require the trust to hold our own products.

  4. The trustees administer and distribute

    Under the deed. The settlor has no access to the trust property at any point, which is what makes this an outright gift.

Las cifras

Un ejemplo resuelto

Cálculos ilustrativos, para que la forma del producto se vea en lugar de describirse. Nada de lo que aquí figura es una oferta ni una proyección.

Absolute against discretionary, on the same £100,000

The same gift under the two versions of the deed. It is a comparison of who decides, not of investment outcomes.

Gift
£100,000
Absolute — beneficiaries
Named at outset, fixed
Absolute — trustee discretion
None over entitlement
Absolute — beneficiary’s right
Absolute entitlement to their share
Discretionary — beneficiaries
A class, which may include the unborn
Discretionary — trustee discretion
Who benefits, how much, and when
Discretionary — beneficiary’s right
A hope, not an entitlement
Settlor access, either version
None

Not tax advice. The two versions are treated differently for tax as well as for control, and which suits a client depends on their own position and their own advisers’ view of it.

An illustrative discretionary class

A £100,000 gift, and how trustees might exercise their discretion over it years later.

Illustrative only. The third slice is the argument for a discretionary class: an absolute trust could not have included a beneficiary who did not exist on the day the deed was signed.

Idoneidad

Dónde encaja Trust de donación

Los casos que resuelve, los que no, y lo que un suscriptor necesita antes de tarificar.

Es la respuesta adecuada cuando

  • An outright lifetime gift the client will not need back.
  • A grandparent gifting for a class that may grow.
  • Any size of gift — there is no minimum on this trust.

Conviene mirar otra cosa cuando

  • A client who needs access to the capital, or an income from it.
  • A client who wants a fixed release timetable — the Controlled Access Account does that.

Preguntas

Lo que los corredores nos preguntan sobre este producto

Can the trust hold assets other than your own products?

Yes. The deed does not require it to hold our bonds, and external assets are common.

Can an absolute trust be changed later?

The beneficiaries’ entitlements cannot simply be reallocated — that is what absolute means. If the client may want flexibility, the discretionary version is the one to discuss.

Is there a minimum gift?

No. It is the only trust in this range with no minimum, because the cost of the structure does not scale with the gift.
