An accumulation and maintenance trust is one in which the beneficiaries will become entitled to the property or at least the income when they reach a certain age (no more than 25). The trustees can use the income for the maintenance of the beneficiary before the date on which that beneficiary becomes entitled to the property or to an interest in possession in that property.
Trustees of an accumulation and maintenance trust are given power to accumulate the income of the trust until a certain date, at which time the beneficiary, or beneficiaries, are entitled to the property of the trust or to the income arising from that property.
In England and Wales, the beneficiary (unless the terms of the trust say otherwise) becomes entitled to the income from the property held in the trust when he or she reaches age 18 and an interest in possession trust is created at that point.
