Practical Applications:

  • Family Wealth Management: Ideal for families who want to provide for multiple generations, ensuring that assets are managed and distributed according to the evolving needs of the family.

  • Special Needs Planning: Suitable for providing financial support to beneficiaries with special needs without affecting their entitlement to means-tested state benefits.
