A word about Trusts

If you like you can set up a trust to hold a First Steps Account for your child. There are different types of trust, but broadly speaking you can use a trust to make it clear from a legal point of view that the investments are being held for the benefit of the child.
The terms of the trust also set the ground rules for how and when they can be given control over those investments.

Getting help

We are very happy for a trust to hold a First Steps Account but we can’t arrange one for you. You will have to do this separately with the help of a lawyer or financial adviser.
