A Family Trust provides full protection for your beneficiaries, even if circumstances have changed. An example would be where your spouse or children (including adult children) have disabilities or lose capacity to deal with their own affairs.
It also protects against your children being disinherited as a result of your spouse remarrying after your death.
Your chosen trustees can deal with the property in the trust in the same way as attorneys would under a Power of Attorney.
Since it would be your trustees who control the capital of the Trust Fund, including your house, these assets should not, in normal circumstances, be taken into account in the assessment of your means for contribution to the cost of any residential care fees or other means tested benefits.
