Protect what matters

What is a Trust?

A Trust is a safe way to ensure money or assets are managed for the benefit of others. It can protect your estate, provide for your family, or responsibly manage funds from a legal settlement – whether that results from a Road Accident Fund claim, medical malpractice, PRASA, or any other settlement.

A Trust is about more than just legal paperwork, it provides peace of mind knowing that what matters to you is looked after, even when you can’t do it yourself.

At Fedgroup, we offer three main types of trusts:

  • Inter Vivos Trusts: created during your lifetime to protect and grow wealth.
  • Testamentary Trusts: created in your Will to safeguard dependants after your death.
  • Settlement Trusts: created to manage financial settlements following legal claims.
