A Pedigree Trust is a type of discretionary trust that endeavors to ensure that the property of the trust will remain within a particular family, perhaps as defined by direct (i.e. blood) relationship to a particular individual.
Although such trusts are often set up in an attempt to protect the trust assets in the case of marriage breakdown, they can also be useful in other situations where the principal setting up the trust wants to ensure that the benefit of the trust property will remain with his or her immediate family.
