A quick definition of family pot trust:

A family pot trust is a special type of trust that parents create for their children in case something happens to them. It allows the trustee to give money to the children as needed, depending on their needs. This means that if one child needs more money for something like college or medical bills, they can get it. However, it's important to choose the right trustee and make sure the parents' intentions are clear. The trust usually lasts until the youngest child is 18 or another age set by the trust, so older children might not be able to access the money until later in life.

A more thorough explanation:

A family pot trust is a type of trust that parents create for their children in case something happens to them. The trustee of the trust has the flexibility to distribute funds to the beneficiaries according to their needs. This means that the trustee can give different amounts of money to each beneficiary as expenses arise, such as medical bills or college tuition.

For example, let's say that a couple creates a family pot trust for their three children. One of their children has a medical condition that requires expensive treatments. The trustee of the trust can give more money to that child to cover their medical expenses, while still providing for the other two children.

However, family pot trusts also have some disadvantages. Since the trustee has a lot of discretion, it's important to choose the right trustee and clearly define the parents' intentions. Additionally, the trust typically doesn't end until the youngest child reaches a certain age, so older children may not be able to access the funds until later in life.
