A Trust Deed is a legal document outlining the terms and conditions of a trust, specifying the duties of the trustee(s) and the rights of the beneficiaries. It plays a very important role in the creation of a trust, either private or charitable. At Ad Deals Legal Services, we help provide professional assistance in the composition of a comprehensive and legally valid trust deed that would abide by all legal standards, ensuring smooth management of the trust.
1. Consultation and Understanding Your Requirements
Before preparing the trust deed, we sit down with you to know why you want a trust; the type of trust be it revocable or irrevocable; whether it’s private, charitable, and so forth. This way, you’ll get your trust deed perfectly tailored to suit your individual situation.
2. Preparing the Trust Deed
Once we understand your needs, our expert legal team drafts the trust deed, ensuring that it includes the following essential elements:

Our legal team ensures that the trust deed is drafted in a clear, legally enforceable manner to avoid any ambiguity that could lead to future disputes.
