A Trust is a form of relationship, where assets or property from your estate are held on behalf of a beneficiary (usually a child), and managed by a Trustee(s) - who you name. Trusts are useful if you have children under the age of 18 who you wish to inherit your estate, but who are not legally able to do so yet. A Trustee will be responsible for caring for the assets/property until the beneficiary comes of age. There are many different kinds of Trust for many different circumstances, so if this is of interest to you, do your research before including one in your Will.
