Trusts Lawyer in Charlottetown — what to expect

Trusts in Prince Edward Island 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 Charlottetown 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

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions Charlottetown clients ask first

Do I need a trust if I already have a will?

Not always — trusts solve specific problems (disability benefits, minor beneficiaries, tax planning) that a will alone doesn't address.

What is a Henson trust?

A trust structure that lets a beneficiary receive government disability benefits while still benefiting from inherited assets, widely used in Prince Edward Island estate planning.

Can a trust be changed after it’s set up?

Depends on the type — some trusts are revocable, others aren’t by design; we’ll flag this clearly before you sign anything.
