ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners

Imagine you have a toy that you love very much. You want to give it to someone after you're all grown up and not playing with toys anymore. But you don't just want to give it to anyone because it's something special to you. So you ask a special group of people who know a lot about giving away things like toys, but for grown-ups. They are called the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.

These people are like teachers who know a lot about how to give your toys, money, and other important things to other people. They help people make plans for when they're not around anymore, and make sure things they leave behind go where they wanted them to go. They make sure everyone is treated fairly and that everything is done correctly. It's like a grown-up game of giving away things, but it's very important because it can help people make sure their loved ones are taken care of, even when they're gone.
