Trusts

A trust is a uniquely varied and flexible way of holding property.

Although often associated with tax planning, trusts are commonly used as a way of structuring the ownership and management of family wealth across the generations, especially where there are young children or there is a need to balance competing demands between, for example, spouses and stepchildren. They can also be used to safeguard assets from creditors.

We can advise you on the most appropriate type of Trust to satisfy your estate planning needs. We also provide a comprehensive Trust Administration Service to ensure that trusts are administered efficiently and effectively.
