Private Trust

A Trust is a legal arrangement where asset ownership is transferred from the person who set up the Trust (settlor) to another person/corporation (Trustee) for the benefit of one or more people (beneficiaries). The beneficiary holds an equitable interest in the asset even though the trustee has the legal ownership. A Trust can be created intentionally or by virtue of a statutory Trust. Some Trusts which are intentionally created includes an education Trust, maintenance Trust, charitable Trust and certain insurance Trusts.

Hibah

A Muslim is able to set up a ‘Hibah' arrangement for the benefit of their treasured ones. It is a gift of your love to your treasured ones during your lifetime by way of love and affection and without expecting any kind of return or consideration.
