Planning for the future using a Trust in Nigeria
Trust Funds appear to be the exclusive preserve of the elite class. This mindset stems from a lack of information and clarity on what a Trust is and how accessible and beneficial it can be to everyday people. In this video I deconstruct what a Trust entails and how it can be created while also enumerating important factors to consider when deciding to create a Trust. Nigerians in diaspora can take advantage of this tool in managing the wealth they transfer to Nigeria for various purposes, for example building a home, providing for retirement, providing for family, etc. This will ensure their wishes are adhered to and the funds transferred are only used for the stated purposes they desire.
