What Is a Beneficiary?



In simple terms, being the beneficiary means you receive the benefits of the trust, which is different from the trustee’s role. When setting up a trust, it’s important to understand three key terms: settlor (or creator), trustee, and beneficiary. The settlor creates the trust, the trustee manages it, and the beneficiary benefits from its assets.
