A Trust Deed is a legal document that lays the foundation for creating a trust—an arrangement in which one party (the trustee) holds and manages assets on behalf of another (the beneficiary). Trusts can be established for charitable, religious, educational, or private family purposes. The deed outlines the objectives of the trust, the rules for managing its assets, the duties of trustees, and the rights of beneficiaries.

At Dasthaveju Lekari, we assist clients in drafting Trust Deeds that comply with the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. Whether it’s a public trust for charitable causes or a private trust for asset protection and succession planning, we ensure that the deed is clear, comprehensive, and tailored to your intentions. Our team helps you identify the appropriate structure, whether it’s a trust, society, or Section 8 company, and advises on the best route for registration depending on your objectives.

We also guide you through the registration process with the local Sub-Registrar’s office and support with obtaining PAN and opening a bank account in the name of the trust. For charitable trusts, we can also help with the application for 12A and 80G certifications under the Income Tax Act for tax exemptions.
