    You don't get 'forms', you get proper legal advice. Your question alone indicates that you don't have the requisite skills (most people don't) and there are any number of pitfalls/unintended consequences.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    How can I set up a trust fund?

    Case law demands that for an express trust to be validly declared, it has to establish three certainties:

    • certainty of intention; that you clearly intend to create the trust
    • certainty of subject matter; that you plainly and precisely define the trust property
    • certainty of objects; that you unequivocally delineate the beneficiaries

    To create an express trust, you would need the help of an expert with specialised legal, financial, and tax knowledge to establish these certainties; decide on all the important aspects of a trust; and ensure proper, precise legal wording & constitution of your trust.

    You would engage a solicitor with a specialist knowledge of Trust Law.
