An Introduction to Personal Injury Trusts - Webinar

A personal injury trust allows an individual who has received a payment as a consequence of a personal injury to manage and protect the funds for their benefit over the longer term.

One key benefit is that the assets held in trust are not taken into account for means tested benefits or care contributions.  It is therefore critical that this type of trust is considered during personal injury litigation, negotiations on settlement or if an insurance payment is made to ensure that the funds are protected for the individual concerned.

After attending this webinar, delegates will have an understanding of:

• what a personal injury trust is
• when it is appropriate to use a personal injury trust
• key time limits
• the role of the trustees and beneficiaries
• types of trust structures that can be used
• how the trust is set up
• trust management and some general tax points
