Retain ownership of the asset but hold it in trust for your beneficiaries — receive a loan back from the trust.
Discounted Gift Trusts
Gift assets into trust while retaining certain benefits and a potential immediate IHT discount.
Flexible Reversionary Trusts
Transfer assets into trust but retain the right to benefit for a set period or specified event.
Bare Trusts
Assets are held in trust for a beneficiary who has an immediate and absolute right to the assets.
Discretionary Trusts
Trustees have discretion over how and when to distribute income or capital.
Interest in Possession Trusts
Beneficiaries have the right to income generated by the trust assets, either for a fixed term or for life.
