Trusts today plays a significant role in most financial and legal systems and are also recognized under the Hague Convention. There are many benefits of Trust like protection of assets, wealth, protection of insolvency, taxation, the welfare of family members, the inheritance of property etc.

Trust can be classified into two categories

Public Trust

Public Trust is registered for the benefits of a class or Public generally. It is created for charitable, educational, religious or scientific purposes. Public Trust is regulated by the Bombay Public Trust Act 1950 in India. This form of the institution is registered to provide maximum benefit to the society at large. Public Trust is purely independent, and a nonprofit entity as the main aim of the formation of the Trust is to cause public benefit. A trust also provides various group of individuals to collectively help the persons who are unable to survive and to take care of all of their needs. These trusts can be made to serve old age citizen, orphans, physically disabled children, especially able children, and even for animals. Public Trust is also registered to promote efforts to bridge the gap between the privileged and the needy.

Private Trust

Private Trust is registered for the lawful benefit of one or more individuals or a specific group of people such as employee of companies, family members etc. The Private Trust is regulated by the Indian Trust Act 1882. The private Trust can also be created by a will and shall subject to the provisions of the Indian Succession Act, 1925. As the Private trust route to inheritance planning gains popularity in India, the rich are increasingly looking at asset protection, rather than saving on taxes or passing on wealth to the next generation. According to Barclays Wealth Insights report, 61 per cent of family disputes in India were due to wealth distribution. Private Trusts can also help in insolvency protection. If the Settlor is also beneficiary, the share of the Trust’s assets belonging to the Settlor or beneficiary can be combined in case of bankruptcy.
