How does it save tax? A testamentary trust allows the person who controls it to split the income generated by the trust between family members. Importantly, children who receive income from a testamentary trust are taxed at adult tax rates, instead of penalty rates (up to 66%) which apply to other types of trusts.

A testamentary trust (a trust established by will after death) is subject to tax at graduated income tax rates. Conversely, an inter vivos trust (a trust created during a settlor's lifetime) is taxed at the highest marginal tax rate applicable to individuals (currently 43.7% in BC).
The trust can also be used to reduce estate tax liabilities and ensure professional management of the assets. A disadvantage of a testamentary trust is that it does not avoid probatethe legal process of distributing assets through the court.
