A Simple Trust Agreement is a fundamental legal instrument used in Pakistan to establish and govern trust arrangements. This document is essential when individuals or organizations wish to transfer assets to be managed by trustees for the benefit of specific beneficiaries. The agreement, governed by the Trust Act 1882 and related Pakistani legislation, is commonly used for family wealth management, asset protection, charitable purposes, or business succession planning. It details the trust structure, trustee powers and obligations, beneficiary rights, distribution mechanisms, and administrative procedures. The document is particularly valuable in situations requiring long-term asset management, protection of beneficiary interests, or structured distribution of wealth across generations.
