John Smith (66 years old) established the Smith Family Trust in South Africa in 2018 for the benefit of his three unmarried children, Ben, Susan and Danie. On 28 February 2021, Ben was 29 years old.

He lives and works in Port Elizabeth. Susan was 20 years old and a fulltime student at Varsity College. Danie was a 15yearold scholar.

The assets of the trust were all donated by John. The trustees are independent third parties and the provisions of the trust deed include the following:

1. Each child will be paid R6 000 per month for their maintenance.

2. R30 000 a year will be paid to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), a registered public benefit organisation, and the trust will retain the relevant section 18A certificates to be issued in its name.

3. The balance of the receipts and accruals may be dealt with at the discretion of the trustees.

When Danie turns 25, the trust will be dissolved and the balance in the trust will be paid out in equal shares to the three children.
