Trusts in India are governed by the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 (for private trusts) and various state laws and judicial precedents (for public charitable trusts). Our trust registration lawyer in Kolkata handles private trusts (created for the benefit of specific individuals or families — estate planning, asset protection) and public charitable trusts (created for charitable purposes — education, healthcare, poverty relief, religion). Private trusts require registration. Public charitable trusts are registered through a trust deed with the Sub-Registrar. Each type serves different purposes and has different legal requirements.

The trust deed is the foundational document of any trust. Our trust registration lawyer in Kolkata drafts comprehensive trust deeds covering the trust name, names of settlor, trustees, and beneficiaries, trust objects/purpose, trust property details, trustee powers and duties, management and administration, meeting requirements, accounts and audit, amendment provisions, and dissolution terms. The trust deed must be properly stamped and executed. A well-drafted trust deed prevents disputes and ensures the trust operates as intended.
Trust registration is done with the Sub-Registrar of Assurances. Our trust registration lawyer in Kolkata handles registration by preparing the trust deed with all required clauses, paying stamp duty (as per West Bengal rates), appearing before the Sub-Registrar with the settlor and trustees, executing the trust deed, presenting two witnesses, obtaining the registered trust deed, and applying for PAN and bank account. The registered trust deed is the primary legal document establishing the trust.
Trustees manage the trust's affairs. Our trust registration lawyer in Kolkata advises on trustee appointment including the number of trustees (minimum 2 for private trusts), qualifications and disqualifications, powers and duties, decision-making (majority rule), and grounds for removal or resignation. Trustees must act in the best interests of the beneficiaries, avoid conflicts of interest, maintain proper accounts, and invest trust property prudently. We also advise on trustee succession and filling of vacancies.
