Probate trust

For quicker payment of death benefits

Before a person’s estate can be distributed, the executors must apply for probate. Waiting for probate to be granted can take a long time. Using a probate trust removes the need to get probate, so as long as there is at least one trustee, the payment of death benefits from the investment bond can be made quicker.
