A discretionary trust allows the trustee to hold and grow assets (e.g. from investments) and to distribute income to the beneficiaries.
A key advantage of a discretionary trust is its adaptability where the terms of the trust can often be modified to accommodate changes in family dynamics, financial conditions, or legal requirements.
