Trusts Lawyer in St. John's — what to expect
Trusts in Newfoundland and Labrador serve purposes a will can't — providing for a beneficiary with a disability without affecting government benefits, protecting assets for young children, or managing family business succession.
Our St. John's estate team designs trusts around the actual goal, not a generic template: Henson trusts for beneficiaries receiving disability supports, testamentary trusts for minor or vulnerable beneficiaries, and inter-vivos trusts for business or tax planning where appropriate. We also handle trustee appointments and ongoing trust administration questions for existing trusts set up elsewhere.
What this can cover
- Henson and disability trusts
- Testamentary trusts for minor or vulnerable beneficiaries
- Family and business succession trusts
- Trustee guidance and administration
