FAQ: Trusts

Why use a trust instead of just a will?+

Trusts can avoid probate, keep your estate private, control how and when beneficiaries receive assets, protect funds for a disabled or minor beneficiary, and provide tax efficiency.

What's a Henson trust?+

A Henson trust (also called an absolute discretionary trust) lets you leave money to a beneficiary with disabilities without disqualifying them from government support programs in Canada.

Are trusts only for wealthy people?+

No. Trusts are commonly used by middle-income families to protect children, manage inheritances for minors, and avoid probate fees.
