Frequently Asked Questions

What are corporate trustee services?

A corporate trustee is a company appointed to act as the trustee of a trust. While it is a registered company like any other, it is typically incorporated solely for the purpose of acting as a trustee and does not conduct its own business.

What is the difference between a lay trustee and a professional trustee?

A lay trustee is an individual, often a family member or friend, with no formal expertise in trust management. A professional trustee is a company or individual with specialised knowledge and experience.
