Why Trust Reviews Matter
Why Trusts Should Be Reviewed Regularly
Why Trust Reviews Matter
Trusts are long-term arrangements and should be reviewed regularly to ensure they continue to meet their objectives.
​
Without periodic reviews, a trust may not reflect changes in family circumstances, financial conditions, or legal requirements.
What Happens During a Trust Review?
A trust review may include:
​
• reviewing trust investments
• assessing beneficiary needs
• confirming trustee responsibilities
• ensuring compliance with regulations
• documenting trustee decisions
Trustee Meetings
Trustees should hold regular meetings to discuss the management of the trust.
​
These meetings help ensure transparency, accountability, and proper governance.
Important Note

​
It is also very important that trusts receive regular administrative reviews and that trustees hold regular meetings to ensure the trust continues to operate effectively and in accordance with its intended purpose.
