The taxation of trusts and estates

Walter Sinclair

Chapter 21 in Tax Guide 2000–2001, 2000, pp 338-352 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A trust is brought into existence when a person (the settlor) transfers assets to trustees for the benefit of third parties (the beneficiaries). Another word for a trust is a settlement. A trust may also be created under a will when a person (the testator) sets aside the whole or a portion of his estate to be administered (by trustees) for the benefit of his heirs or other beneficiaries. (Where an individual declares himself to be a trustee of certain of his assets a trust will also come into existence.)
