Gift Settlement Deed

"I need a Gift Settlement Deed to transfer my London property and investment portfolio worth £2M into a trust for my three children, with my sister and brother-in-law acting as trustees, to be effective from March 2025."

Document background
A Gift Settlement Deed is commonly used in England and Wales when individuals wish to make significant gifts while maintaining some control over how the assets are managed and distributed. This document is particularly relevant for estate planning, tax efficiency, and protecting family wealth. The deed must conform to English trust law requirements and typically includes detailed provisions about the settled property, trustee powers, beneficiary rights, and administrative procedures. It's essential for creating valid trust arrangements and ensuring proper documentation of gift transfers.
