Recently we published an article about the changes in the way the Master’s Office deals with Trust Administration in terms of a Circular issued in March 2017. Some of the other important implications of the amended procedures are:
Amendment of Trusts:
Deregistration of Trusts:
Reasons for the termination, as well as proof that the Trust has no further assets or liabilities to be submitted to the Master.
Special Trusts:
The administration of Special Trusts and Trusts created for the receipt of Road Accident Fund Compensation, are contained in the Master’s Circular.
Should you wish to discuss what the impact of the changes would be in respect of a specific Trust Deed, or need assistance with any Trust related administration, you are most welcome to contact our Trust Administration Department today.
