Probate is the legal and financial process of dealing with the property, money and possessions of a person who has died.
TRUSTS, PROBATE & LEGAL SERVICES
Trusts can be useful for clients looking to preserve existing wealth within their family for both now and the future. In the right circumstances, trusts can be a secure, flexible and potentially tax efficient way of allowing assets to be passed down through the generations. Trusts can also be used to ensure that only designated people can benefit from your estate, which is important for clients wishing to protect against divorce or who have complex family arrangements.
Our knowledge of the tax rules relating to trusts and estates is wide ranging and we are able to advise on situations where a trust may prove beneficial, including assistance in establishing and running a trust, plus dealing with all compliance requirements.
