Private Client Services  >  Trusts

Trusts are often thought of as only for the wealthy but can be equally valuable in reducing tax liabilities for people with more modest assets in reducing tax liabilities, particularly inheritance tax.

As legal arrangements that allow you to give away assets, in a tax-efficient, controlled way, trusts can be particularly useful as part of estate planning for couples who are not married or in a civil partnership or where arrangements for passing on wealth are made more complex by previous marriages where stepchildren are involved.

We’ll use our experience in trust work to provide expert advice on your options. For example, trusts can be used to reduce the cost of long-term care or to specify at what age or in what circumstances you wish your beneficiaries to receive money or property. You can even use trusts to protect assets indefinitely if you do not wish your beneficiaries to have full control of these.

We’ll work with you to explore how trust solutions can benefit you and your family, creating a flexible, well-drafted trust that can play a key role in your longer-term tax and financial planning.
