1. The name itself suggests the difference. A family trust by its objects can become a public trust as well. Everything depneds upon the objectives of the trust and its beneficiaries.
2. No. But some concessions alone are offered.
3. yes.But the objects must provide for the same and there must be a specific clause in this regard.
4.yes. This must also be provided for in the trust deed.
5. when the objects of the trust fail,it can be terminated.
6. By amending the trust deed.
7.It is left to the discretion of the founder or author of the trust.
No.It cannot be treated like a partnership.
8. Already stated above.
