FAQs

Common Questions

When is a trustee in breach of trust?

A trustee is in breach when they act outside the terms of the trust, exercise a discretion improperly, fail to invest prudently, or act with a conflict of interest.

Can a trust be varied?

Yes — by consent of all adult beneficiaries under Saunders v Vautier, or by application to court under the Variation of Trusts Act 1958.
