When specialist trust planning is useful

Specialist trust advice may be appropriate where there are vulnerable beneficiaries, children from previous relationships, property assets, business or farming interests, concerns about divorce or bankruptcy, inheritance tax planning, or a wish to keep family wealth protected over time.

Will trusts and lifetime trusts

A trust can be created in your Will or during your lifetime. Will trusts are commonly used to manage inheritance after death, while lifetime trusts may be considered as part of wider asset protection or succession planning. Each option has different legal, tax and administration implications.

Trustee duties and ongoing clarity

Trustees must understand their duties and act in line with the trust terms. We help clients think carefully about who should act as trustees, how beneficiaries should be protected and how the trust fits into the wider estate plan.
