• CodicilA supplementary document that explains, alters or adds to a Will and is read as part of it — executed and attested exactly like the Will itself.
• Determinate trustA trust whose beneficiaries and their beneficial interests are ascertainable from the trust deed throughout its life — the structure that lets a Category III AIF avoid MMR on non-business income.
• Irrevocable trustA trust whose settlor cannot take the property back, which is why the workbook records that it is protected from the settlor's bankruptcy and usable to secure the interests of dependents.
• NominationThe account holder's written direction naming who receives the securities on death — up to ten nominees for a demat account, with percentages that must total 100, mandatory for single holdings.
• Power of AttorneyA legal document by which you authorise somebody else — often your stock broker or depository participant — to operate your demat and bank account on your behalf. It is optional, and revocable.
