Estate Protection

What Is A Protective Property Trust?

Explore what this type of planning is designed to address and why it may form part of some estate plans.

A Protective Property Trust is a form of planning, usually set up through a Will, that lets you leave your share of the family home in trust for your children rather than directly to your surviving partner.

Your partner can typically still live in the property for the rest of their life, but your share is protected — meaning it can't later be lost to your partner's future care costs, or end up passing to a new partner or their family if your partner remarries.

It's one of several tools some families use to make sure what they've built still reaches the people they intended, whatever happens afterwards.
