A will outlines your wishes for asset distribution after death and goes through probate, while a trust holds your assets during your lifetime and can help avoid probate. Trusts offer more control over asset distribution and protection from taxes and legal claims.

Yes, as the trustee or settlor, you retain control over how the trust is managed. You can make changes to beneficiaries or instructions while you’re alive and still have mental capacity, depending on the type of trust you set up.

If you sell a property held in trust, the tax treatment depends on whether the property is a main residence or a secondary property, and also on how it entered the trust.

For a main residence, if the trust qualifies for Principal Private Residence Relief—typically because the settlor or a beneficiary has lived in the property as their main home—then no Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is due on the sale.

For a secondary property, such as a buy-to-let or investment property, Holdover Relief can often be claimed at the time the property is transferred into the trust. This means no CGT is payable when the property enters the trust. Instead, the trust inherits the original base cost of the property, effectively deferring the gain until the property is eventually sold.

Yes, if you set up a revocable trust, you can make changes, add or remove beneficiaries, and amend terms during your lifetime. However, irrevocable trusts are more difficult to change, offering more asset protection but less flexibility.

Trusts typically last up to 125 years, depending on the type of trust and legal structures in place. During this time, trustees will manage the assets based on your instructions, even after your death.
