Trusts Solicitors

Expert guidance to protect your assets and provide for your loved ones with personalised Trust solutions tailored to your needs.

A Trust is a legal way to protect and pass on your assets. You, called the Settlor, decide who will receive these assets, such as specific people or groups like your grandchildren, known as the beneficiaries. The assets are looked after by Trustees on their behalf.

Our Trust solicitors can help you establish a Trust either during your lifetime or through your Will. The Trust Deed clearly outlines how the Trustees should manage the assets and how the beneficiaries will benefit.

What is a Trust and how does it work?

A Trust is a legal arrangement that allows you, the Settlor, to transfer assets, such as money, property, or investments, to Trustees, who manage them for the benefit of named individuals or groups known as beneficiaries. Trusts can be set up during your lifetime or through your Will and are often used to provide long-term financial protection or to manage how and when beneficiaries receive assets.

Our experienced Trust solicitors will guide you through the process step by step, making sure your Trust is set up correctly and aligned with your goals. Speak to one of our Trust solicitors today to get clear, tailored advice.

What are the benefits of setting up a Trust?

Trusts can offer a range of benefits depending on your circumstances. They are commonly used for inheritance tax planning, protecting family wealth, and ensuring that vulnerable or young beneficiaries are looked after appropriately. A Trust can also help reduce the risk of future disputes, protect assets from creditors or divorce settlements, and give you more control over how your estate is distributed.

Our Trust solicitors can advise on the right type of Trust to meet your needs – whether you’re planning ahead or managing a complex estate. Contact us to explore how a Trust could help protect your assets and loved ones.

Do I need a Trust if I already have a Will?

While a Will sets out how your estate should be distributed after your death, a Trust offers more flexibility and control, both during your lifetime and beyond. For example, a Trust can be used to support vulnerable family members without giving them full control of the assets or to reduce inheritance tax liabilities. In some cases, using both a Will and a Trust together is the most effective way to protect your estate and loved ones.

Our Trust solicitors can review your current arrangements and help you decide whether setting up a Trust would be beneficial. Book a consultation with our Trust solicitors to make sure your plans cover everything they need to.
