Charitable trusts hold and protect assets in perpetuity for charitable purposes. They can be set up to aid in poverty relief, the advancement of education or religion, or any other matter of public benefit.

In most cases you will need the help of a lawyer or accountant to set up a charitable trust.

They can also help you administer the trust or you can choose to have it administered by a trustee administration company.

Trustee administration companies include:

• Perpetual Guardian

• Public Trust

• Trustees Executors
