Trust
Job description
Today, trusts (family trusts) are often used for inheritance. A trust is a method of property management in which real estate, savings, and other assets are entrusted to a trusted family member for management and disposal in preparation for one’s own retirement or nursing care. The advantages of trusts include the ability to pass on a wider range of assets than is possible with a will, the ability to leave various types of assets such as money and securities, and the ability to decide how to manage, invest, and make payments according to one’s objectives. Trusts are widely used because they entrust the management of property to trusted relatives and are less likely to incur high fees.
In addition to providing advice on such family trusts, the firm also drafts trust agreements and handles a wide range of other inheritance-related issues.
