“In essence, the owner of the assets doesn't change, it's the trust, it's just the people who control it, who have access to it, that change.” – Michael Yardney

“A testamentary trust can be set up during your lifetime. It forms part of your will, but it only comes into effect upon your death.” – Michael Yardney

“And here's a little-known secret to success that only a small number of employees have ever discovered: going that extra mile is an investment in themselves.” – Michael Yardney
