Key Features
Trust savings accounts are specialised accounts holding funds managed by trustees for beneficiaries (often children or incapacitated adults), offering legal protection for assets. These accounts allow trustees to control assets, requiring documentation like a trust deed to open.
They are suitable if you are a trustee (individual or legal professional) needing to manage, protect, and grow assets on behalf of a beneficiary -such as children, incapacitated adults, or charity. They are designed to manage, protect, or grow assets for future use.
- Created to manage assets on behalf of a third party, such as in Will Trusts, Personal Injury Trusts, or Discretionary Trusts
- Account options include easy-access accounts for liquidity
- Trustees control the account, but beneficiaries are the intended recipients of the funds
- Some accounts may have minimum deposit requirements or notice periods for withdrawals
- Documentation may be required – such as a trust deed, proof of identity, and details of trustees/beneficiaries
