Trusts
Trusts and foundations: what they cost, what they protect, and what the rules require of you
This hub covers trusts and foundations for families with significant assets: what each structure does, what it costs to set up and run, what trustees and protectors owe, and which registration and tax rules apply. The UK and the US have separate pages because the rules differ by subject, not just by spelling. General information, not advice.
