To create a trust, you'll need to apply for a trust order. Once an order is granted by the Court, the trust continues until the landowners, beneficiaries, trustees, and the Court agree to end it.
We recommend you complete a review every three years, as it provides valuable insight about how the trust is running and can identify areas of improvement. When you submit an application, you’ll need to include information about the trust and trustees.
