EQUITY AND TRUST

EQUITY AND TRUST

Sacha Poor, a local government employee, won £10m on the lottery and inherited some property from an unknown relative, Lady Alicia Moneybags, after heir hunters identified him as Lady Moneybags next surviving relative. He decided that it was important to spend his money wisely so he set up some trust funds and wrote his will.
The National Lottery presented Sacha with his winnings at a publicity event. At the event, Sacha stated;
” Many members of my family have suffered from Cancer so I intend to set up a trust fund of £1,000,000 for the nursing care of cancer sufferers in Bradford. Therefore, 1,000,000 from this lottery cheque I will hold as trustee”.
” I also intend to hold £250,000 for each of my sons, William and Harry, to receive upon the completion of their University degrees by 2020″.
