What is a Trust?
A Trust is a legal entity that is able to own property and other assets. It is a legal agreement that stipulates how assets are going to be managed and distributed.
There are two types of trust:
(a) an inter- vivos trust is created between living persons;
(b) a testamentary trust derives from a valid will of a deceased.
The Trust Property Control Act no 57/1988 is provisioned to administer trusts.
How to perform a Trust Search
-
Select “Trust” under the ‘Person’ offering on the search Menu.
-
Supply required search criteria by entering the Trust Name or Trust File Number (or both).
Note: A trust search result can return information detailing the associated trustees if it has been registered as such. However a valid trust can be registered with no trustees.
