Trusts, Societies and Educational Institutions
Governance, trustee succession and property counsel for trusts, societies, schools and colleges.
How This Sector Operates
Institutions run by trusts and societies face a particular difficulty: the constitutional document was written for a smaller organisation, by people who are no longer available to explain what they meant. Trusts, Societies and Educational Institutions, including schools and colleges, need their deeds, trustee succession, elections and property alienation handled with statutory care.
