Trusts & estate planning

Protecting your legacy with the right trust.

Our estate planning service looks at your circumstances and preferences and explains trust options that may help protect assets and provide for the people you choose.

Will trusts

We explain that a Will trust, or testamentary trust, is created on death as part of a Will. Different types of Will trust can be used for different objectives.

Discretionary Trust

Trustees can decide which beneficiaries receive assets, how much they receive and when, providing flexibility in changing circumstances.

Property Trust

A property trust can be used where a home is owned as tenants in common, with each person leaving their share into trust through their Will.

Life Interest Trust

Allows someone to benefit during their lifetime while protecting the underlying capital for other beneficiaries after their death.

Other trust planning

We also provide information and planning around charitable trusts and specialist arrangements for vulnerable or disabled beneficiaries. The appropriate structure depends on individual circumstances and should be considered carefully.

Estate planning is personal.
We consider your personal circumstances and preferences before discussing appropriate solutions.
