MILELE TRUSTFUND

Protect your family assets

UNDERSTANDING TRUST

A Trust can be compared to a safe deposit box that holds valuable items, for the benefit of loved ones or courses.

It is a legal arrangement whereby a person or an entity (known as a trustee) holds property as its legal owner, not for their own benefit, but for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries.

It is essential that the transfer is gratuitous, otherwise the transaction takes on the characteristics of some other legal entity.

WHAT CAN MILELE TRUST FUND DO FOR YOU?

Milele Trust Fund will provide a measure of comfort knowing that you have a plan in place to help provide for the safe and accountable management of family assets and to direct their use in accordance with your wishes, goals and objectives.

Milele Trust Fund is used to help ensure the proper management of your assets throughout the different stages of your life:

• During your active lifetime, placing assets in Milele Trust Fund allows you freedom to continue managing your assets or to devote time to other priorities.

• In the event you are incapacitated, Milele Trust will help ensure that your needs are met and that your finances are kept in good order for your benefit.

• Upon your death, your trust becomes “irrevocable”, and your assets are managed and distributed by ITSL Trust Company Limited (Trustees), in accordance with your instructions throughout the rest of the trust’s existence.

“Have you ever thought about what

may happen to your savings and your

retirement and insurance benefits if

anything tragic should happen to

you?”

“Who will take care of your loved ones,

especially children, and ensure their

education, medical care and general

well-being is taken care of?”

“To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past. The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives

a faithful accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust.
