Trustee Savings Plans

If you have been made the Trustee of a Trust savings plan account, you have the responsibility of making sure the financial assets of the Settlor are safe and secure, and that the right amount of money goes to the Beneficiary upon maturity.

There are a variety of options to consider when setting up a Trustee savings account. At Fair Investment, we work with a number of companies to offer a range of Trustee savings accounts that are suitable for a range of different Trust types.

If you have been made the Trustee of a close one’s assets it is your responsibility to take care of the capital assets of the deceased person until their chosen beneficiary is mature enough to deal with their own finances.
