What is a Trust? 🤝
A Trust is a fiduciary arrangement that allows a third party (the trustee) to hold assets on behalf of beneficiaries. Trusts can be used for various purposes, including managing family wealth, supporting charitable activities, or ensuring proper asset distribution according to your wishes.

In India, trusts are governed by the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. This legislation outlines the rights and responsibilities of trustees, beneficiaries, and the procedures for creating and registering a trust.
