A Discretionary Trust is a legal arrangement which allows the owner of a life policy (the settlor) to give their policy to a trusted group of people (the trustees), who look after it. At some time in the future they pass it on to some people from a group that the settlor has decided (the beneficiaries).
Besides using insurance covers to protect your wealth, a discretionary trust helps to keep creditors away from your properties and investments. Any property or asset under a discretionary trust is held in trust for the current or future benefit of the beneficiaries.
What are the disadvantages of discretionary trusts? Discretionary trusts can be complex, requiring trustees to understand trust and tax laws. Not all potential beneficiaries are guaranteed to benefit, as trustees have discretion over who receives benefits and how much.
By placing the assets in a Discretionary Trust, the assets remain under the control of appointed Trustees and not the beneficiary. This means that a beneficiary who is incapable of managing their own affairs would have any inheritance managed on their behalf by the Trustees.
Discretionary trusts are sometimes set up to put assets aside for: a future need, like a grandchild who may need more financial help than other beneficiaries at some point in their life. beneficiaries who are not capable or responsible enough to deal with money themselves.

The first step in setting up a discretionary trust is to draft a trust deed, setting out the terms of the trust, the settlors wishes, the chosen beneficiaries, and the appointed trustees. The trust deed guides the trustees in managing the trust income and assets according to the settlors intentions.
Discretion is the right or ability to make a judgment or decision. A discretionary trust therefore is one where the trustee, commonly a private family controlled company, enjoys the freedom to make choices over the control and allocation of assets and income, for the benefit of the beneficiaries.
If an absolute beneficiary dies the trustees have to look at the will or follow intestacy rules to see who will then benefit. Under a Discretionary trust, its up to the trustees to decide who will benefit and when they will benefit from the trust fund.
