The Legal Risk Score of a Change of Trustee Deed (Discretionary Trust) Template is High
Our legal team have marked this document as high risk considering:
- There is a risk associated with the new trustee's acknowledgment and commitment to discharging the duties and obligations of the trust, as any failure to perform these can lead to legal complications or breaches of trust.
- The document does not specify any recourse or corrective measures if the new trustee fails to meet the obligations or mismanages the trust, which could leave the trust's assets vulnerable.
- The process of transferring all trust properties and obligations from the retiring trustee to the new trustee requires meticulous attention to detail and compliance with legal formalities, posing a risk of oversight or errors during the transition.
