2) the settler determines the substance and direction of the trust, including any parties associated with the trust, such as the trustee and the beneficiaries, and any property to be held in the trust.
Dear Client,
A settlor cannot have any right to property of the Trust even if he is not a member of the proposed Trust. He would be working as a professional in order to name the beneficiaries and the relevant trustees and appointer, if any, of the Rotary Club.
The settlor shall be working as per the instructions of the Rotary Club and hence, there would be no questions on the conflict of interest.
Thank you.
If he does there may be objections for vested interest. Keep that in mind and proceed

once the property is given to the trust, the settlor ceases to have any right in that property
he need not be a trustee or member of the proposed trust
- In a trust deed, the Settlor is only the creator of the trust who establishes it
- Further, the settlor transfers the property to the trust, which is then handled and administered by the trustee, or administrator.
- Further , when the property is transfer to the trust , then the settler have no right in the property.
