Overview of a Trust Registration in India
A Trust is a formal legal arrangement where the settlor (trustor) transfers assets to trustees, who manage them for the benefit of defined beneficiaries. Under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, this structure is secured through a Trust Deed, clearly defining roles, responsibilities, and asset management terms.
Trusts can be created for charitable activities, family asset protection, or estate planning. Once registered, trustees are legally bound to act solely in the interest of beneficiaries as per the trust deed.
Key Parties in Trust Registration:
Trustor – The founder who creates the trust and transfers assets to be managed.
Trustee – The individual/entity entrusted with managing assets in line with the trust deed and beneficiaries’ interests.
Beneficiary – The person(s) or community for whom the trust is created and who receive its benefits.
Types of Trusts in India:
Public Trust – Formed for the general public’s benefit in sectors like education, religion, or welfare. These are regulated under acts such as the Religious Endowments Act, 1863, Charitable and Religious Trusts Act, 1920, and Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950.
Private Trust – Created for specific individuals or families, typically for estate planning and wealth management. Governed by the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, these trusts ensure structured inheritance and asset protection.
Public-Cum-Private Trust – A hybrid that benefits both the general public and defined private individuals/families, offering flexibility in meeting social as well as personal goals.
