Declaration Trust

Our Declaration Trust is a simple, flexible and powerful tool providing for your loved ones and securing their financial well-being. Under Declaration Trust, a trust is set up by you as trustee with Rockwills Trustee as your back up trustee. This prevents any delay in allowing your beneficiaries to enjoy the trust assets.

In our Declaration Trust, you need not transfer the assets yet, until any of the following events (as determined by you) occurs:

Death
Total Permanent Disability (TPD)
Critical Illness
Mental Disability
Resignation as trustee
Comatose
Missing for a period to be stated in the trust.

*Declaration Trust resolves the problem of lack of death certificate for distribution of assets.
