I have to work 7 days a week as a lecturer in various colleges to provide for my daughters. I am constantly worried about their well-being should an accident happen to me or suffer from a serious illness.”“I was watching a movie on a Saturday night with my 2 children and Mei Mei turned and said, “Daddy, I love you.” I was touched. My wife passed away after giving birth to Mei Mei. I have been saving my hard earned money in case my heart’s condition gets worse but my daughters are still minors and not able to manage the money. My thoughts are troubled.”

U-Provide ensures the assets are used for the intended purpose for the children. 2. The children can get money immediately as Rockwills Trustee owns the trust assets, there is no legal process or the need to go through the courts before Rockwills Trustee can distribute the assets or income to the children. 3. Rockwills Trustee as appointed trustee ensures that U-Provide is administered impartially and disputes are therefore avoided. 4. The instructions given to Rockwills Trustee stated in the trust deed are private and confidential.
