Discretionary trust is the most flexible form of trust as the trustee can use and distribute the income and capital of the trust entirely at their discretion according to the settlor’s instruction. The trustee can accumulate the whole of the income within the trust and pay income at discretion. The beneficiaries, however, have no automatic right to receive any of the trust income or capital, and have no legal rights under the terms of the trust. By using this trust, assets transferred into a discretionary trust are chargeable lifetime transfer and is subject to an immediate lifetime tax charge. The lifetime tax charge is 20% on the excess above the available standard nil rate band (£325,000). Moreover, the trustee is liable to pay tax charge …show more content…
The beneficiary is called a “life tenant” and is legally entitled to the net income of the trust. The trustee has no authority to accumulate the income within the trust, which means the trustee must pass all the income received, less any trustee’s expenses, to the life tenant. However, the life tenant only entitles to the income but not capital. The capital of the trust will pass to another beneficiary called a “remainderman” as on the death of the life tenant, the trust capital will return to this person (Maston, 2017).

These are all taxed in the same way that discretionary trusts were. If an individual creates an IIP trust during his/her lifetime, the transfer is immediately chargeable to inheritance tax (20%) and the assets within the trust are relevant property and are therefore subject to exit and principal charges. The 10-year anniversary charge occurs as well. Gift to a trust for disable people is not relevant property trust so the settlor do not have to pay inheritance tax on the transfer of asset as long as the person making the transfer still alive for 7 years after making the transfer (HM Revenue & Customs,

In her essay “We should relinquish some liberty in exchange for security,” Mona Charen, a columnist and political analyst, speaks on the issue of security in the United States of America. She uses many significant techniques in her essay to persuade her readers of her argument. However, I feel that her essay fails to make a great argument because she relies heavily on assumptions, misses opportunities to appeal to pathos and ethos, and overall uses a degrading tone.
Constitution and Tyranny Tyranny is cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control. This one act could ultimately be the downfall of a people, of a government, of a nation. Chaos ensues and the structure of the country collapses. The colonial United States required a plan of protection from tyranny, which led our Founding Fathers to institute the Constitution. The Constitution, written in 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, provides a backbone for our country.
A Quistclose trust arises when money is paid to a recipient for a specific purpose, if that purpose fails the money is held on trust for the payer. It mostly arises in insolvency cases where the proprietary rights have to be established. However, this type of trust has been thought to be inconsistent with the traditional trust principle. Many have suggested the Quistclose trust must be treated as any other fully fledged security device taking into account the protection it offers the payer on insolvency and should therefore be registrable. This essay critically analyses the concept of Quistclose trust, whether it differs from the resulting trusts.

The principles of constitution of trusts are derived from the case of Milroy v Lord (1862 where turner L.J. stated that the complete constitution of a trust requires the actual transfer of property from the person making the gift to the beneficiary, a transfer of the intended gift to the trustees to be held in trust for the beneficiaries or the self-declaration of a trustee. The principle in this case is that a gift can only be enforced in equity if it satisfies one of the three requirements. Where the trust does not meet any of the three requirements the trust is considered an imperfect on incompletely constitutes trust. If the donor fails to complete all the formalities required by common law, then equity will not assist the intended beneficiary and thus the gift will be imperfect. The equitable maxim applicable is that equity will not complete an imperfect gift.
Completely constituted trusts are segmented into executory and executed trusts. Executory trust is when a declaration or instrument requires the successive execution of further instruments while an executed trust is when the settlor has clearly and expressly stated what the interests of the beneficiaries are in the trust instrument. When a trust is not properly constituted, there will be no equitable proprietary interest for the beneficiaries. In such situations, the trust is enforceable under contract otherwise the beneficiaries are regarded as “volunteers”. A volunteer is a beneficiary who does not have valuable consideration for a promise or agreement for property to be transferred to him through trustees. Settlors must do everything within their power as necessary according to the nature of the property so that the settlement would be binding. There are three wa...
“Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” a well-known phrase from the Declaration of Independence puts forth the idea that the United States of America was built, partially, on the idea of “happiness” for all Americans. This idea of happiness, however, has no set definition, to some happiness comes from power, wealth, emotion, helping, to others it comes in the form of achievement of a major or minor goal they have set in their lives. Designed by those who strive for it, happiness takes on the life and purpose that a particular person strives for, provided that it follows lawful means of attainment. Personally, I believe that true happiness stems from contentment, fellowship with others and belief.
...d acts tot heir detriment on the basis of trust. But there are some contradicting grounds between the two. Constructive trust is generally created by the action of the parties whereas a court order is mandatory in proprietary estoppel. Furthermore, the nature of constructive trust is to identify the true beneficial owner of the land and it reflects the nature of a person's interest but the court makes the minimum award which are essential to proceed for justice under proprietary estoppel, which allows the courts to provide such remedy fits to the facts of the case and the remedy is not necessarily be similar to the share in the beneficial ownership of the land to a monetary award.
George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton are the most famous and powerful people for gaining individual rights, in the world. These rights are listed in the Constitution; the most supreme law of the land, followed and enforced by every individual. These liberties are gained from the moment the individual was born, and cannot be compromised in any way. If these liberties are limited, then who’s to say that we have freedom? Someone who has freedom has the ability to do what they desire and when they want to do so.

From elementary to high school and even college students are compelled to attend school all around the world. In schools students not only learn general education but learn a lot about themselves. It is said that in the first twenty years of an individual’s life are the years that the individual finds out who they really are. An individual’s moral beliefs are one of the most personal and complex pieces of that individual. There are several great moral theories that could be taught in school, but to only choose one is very difficult. Some of the most known moral theories are Utilitarianism, Virtue Ethics, Kantianism and even Social Contract Theory. All of these theories were developed by some of the most incredible philosophers of all time.
The 21st century has experienced dangerous times for the western world. The world has been known for progressing and make new innovations. Liberty is basically the free will of the people. This means you have the ability to do whatever you desire, unless you are harming someone. Security in our eyes is to protect us from constant danger and take whatever precaution to do so.
Separation of powers is necessary because if one of the three branches is corrupt the other two branches can keep the branch from taking over and or corrupting the other branches. If we didn't have separation of powers we wouldn't be where we are today. As many hateful and bad people are in the world we shourly would have someone or a group want to tear and rip America apart from the inside out. Just think if somehow a group got in one of the three branches or even two. Without the separation of powers they would just tear the government apart.
