Also known as simple trusts or bare trusts, bare trusts are often used by parents and grandparents to transfer assets to their children or grandchildren. The bare trust rules allow beneficiaries to decide when to recover the trust`s assets as long as they are at least 18 years old in the UK. Beneficiaries can use the capital and income they inherit from a simple trust at will. A simple trust is established by a settlement deed or a declaration of trust. In the simplest form of a cash trust, the assets inherited from the person who established the cash trust are the property of the trustee and the beneficiary. But the trustee has no responsibilities or powers in a simple trust. They act according to the instructions of the beneficiary. However, this tax is levied by the creator or settlor of the trust if the beneficiary is under 18 years of age. For example, a grandparent who opens a simple trust for a grandchild would have to pay income tax on the assets of the trust until the minor beneficiary turns 18.

For this reason, it is essential that a beneficial ownership agreement be included as part of the security package when an asset is held in trust by an agent or trustee for third-party beneficiaries. While the beneficial ownership agreement or any other agreement establishing a contractual relationship with beneficial owners is important to bind the principal personally, it is not strictly necessary for the purposes of encumbering real estate assets, provided that the charge has been duly approved. In some cases, a lender may even agree to limit the liability of beneficial owners and limit the use of assets alone. When a trust structure is used, the beneficial owner(s) appoint a trustee or agent to act as the agent of the principal who is the beneficial owner, and in the case of a simple trust, the agent does not have the discretion to manage the asset other than on the instructions of the beneficial owners. In a bare trust, there is an agency relationship between the applicant or trustee and the beneficial owners. Since beneficial owners continue to have the authority to manage assets and the trustee or trustee acts only on the instructions of the beneficial owners, it is ultimately the beneficial owners who are responsible for the debts and obligations of the trustee or trustee.
