The Trustee's Role
Being a Trustee is a significant responsibility. While it allows for flexible asset management, the law imposes certain duties to protect the interests of the Beneficiary.
Key Duties of a Trustee
Duty of Loyalty
You must always act in the best interests of the Beneficiary and avoid any conflicts of interest.
Duty of Care
You are required to manage the trust assets with the same diligence and care as a prudent professional.
Duty of Separate Management
Trust assets must be kept strictly separate from your personal assets (e.g., using a dedicated trust account).
Duty to Keep Records
You must maintain accurate records of all transactions and provide regular reports to the Beneficiary.
