• This form of trust is also called a blind trust, meaning that the beneficiary has no input into, or information about, how the trust is administered, so as to avoid any claims of conflict of interest.
• The settlor (the person setting up the trust) is the sole beneficiary of the trust.
• The division date will occur either upon the death of the beneficiary or on the 21-year anniversary of the establishment of the trust, whichever is earlier.

• The settlor may not act as a trustee.
• During the lifetime of the settlor, no income or capital of the trust shall be distributed to the settlor's spouse or a minor child of the settlor unless such distribution would not result in attribution of income or gain to the settlor for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
