Personal Injury Trust
What is a personal injury trust?

A personal injury trust can be created when someone has received compensation because of a personal injury they suffered.
The idea behind a personal injury trust is to try and preserve any benefits that the injured party may be entitled to that are means tested and would otherwise be lost if the injured party received all their compensation outright.
If the recipient of the personal injury award puts the compensation into a personal injury trust then they are not deemed as owning these monies, and therefore, their benefits should remain unaffected.
However, a personal injury trust is a very specialised type of trust and there are various time limits and procedures to follow to set one up.
