A legacy trust, also known as a dynasty trust or multigenerational trust, is a powerful estate planning tool designed to safeguard family wealth for future generations.

What Is A Legacy Trust?
A legacy trust is an irrevocable trust that can hold and manage wealth across many generations. Unlike other types of trusts, which may dissolve after a single generation, legacy trusts can be set up to last hundreds of years.
Legacy trusts are a cornerstone of long-term wealth preservation. They are especially valuable for families with significant assets, business interests or long-term philanthropic goals. They offer significant protection for wealth and allow you to shape your legacy with intention.
Key Considerations Before You Set Up A Legacy Trust
Before establishing a legacy trust, it’s important to think through a few critical factors:
- Control versus flexibility: Legacy trusts are irrevocable, meaning you relinquish control over the assets. However, you can build in flexibility through trustee powers and distribution guidelines.
- Trustee selection: Choose someone with the financial acumen and integrity to manage your trust over time. You may also consider a corporate trustee for long-term stability.
- Purpose and vision: Define the trust’s goals clearly – for example, education funding, business succession or charitable giving – to make sure it reflects your values and vision.
Our lawyers can help you approach these decisions with clarity and confidence.
