Trust protector - the new bodyguard for the family office
The International Family Offices Journal
Vol. 5 - Iss. 3 pp. 36–38
Mar 2021
Dr Alexander Bove of Boston, Massachusetts focuses on an intriguing role of the trust protector, "the new bodyguard for the family office". A recognised expert on the role of protectors (and the author of the book Trust Protectors - a practice manual), Alexander reviews the history of protectors, and adds the use of a protector on an as-needed basis, known as a 'springing protector'. Then if a problem does arise, "the trustee, instead of preparing for court action, can simply call upon the trust bodyguard to deal quickly and privately with the issue".
