A testamentary trust is a trust established in a Will. As a result a testamentary trust only comes into effect on death. These trusts are administered and managed by the trustee appointed in the Will. Testamentary trusts provide flexibility for distribution of income and for transfer of assets. They also provide income tax advantages in some cases.
Signing a Contract to buy or sell a property is one of the biggest and most exciting, yet stressful decisions you will make in your life.
