This document discusses two types of trusts: discretionary trusts and protective trusts. Discretionary trusts allow trustees to distribute trust property to beneficiaries at their discretion. There are two types: exhaustive trusts, where trustees must distribute all income, and non-exhaustive trusts, where trustees can accumulate benefits and determine beneficiaries and portions. Protective trusts are designed to protect trust property, protecting a settlor's assets during their lifetime from events like bankruptcy, divorce, or taxes. They prevent wasteful or financially irresponsible beneficiaries from alienating or claiming trust property.
