Trusts are a way of managing wealth. Money, investments, land or property. For you or anyone else who you would like to benefit.

A trust can be created for several reasons; some are basic in their format whilst others can be created to provide for more complex situations.

You can create a Trust to take effect in life or you can provide for one to be created on your death within your Will.

Our Trust solicitors can help you protect and manage your assets for the future. We can help you to set up a trust to:

  • Pass on your assets to your family members
  • Provide for vulnerable loved ones
  • Provide for children and partners from different relationships
  • Reduce inheritance tax payments
  • Protect assets

Whatever your need, we work closely with you, understanding your needs and providing a tailored legal solution.

Trusts Guide

What is a Trust Deed?

The Trust Deed will identify the trust property and the beneficiaries. The Trust Deed will also appoint the persons responsible for managing and distributing the trust property, these people are known as the Trustees. You may wish the Trust to provide for just one beneficiary or you can choose to provide for a class of beneficiary, for example ‘all my sisters and brothers’.

Within the Trust you can set out how you would like your Trustees distribute the trust property, alternatively you can give your Trustees a discretion (a choice) as to how the trust property should be distributed between the beneficiaries, this type of Trust is known as a Discretionary Trust.

  • Life Assurance
  • Life Settlements
  • Charities

Trusts and Long-Term Care Costs
Trusts can sometimes help to ring-fence assets from assessment by a Local Authority should you need to enter long term/permanent residential or nursing care in the future.
Pension Trusts
Trusts can be used to receive either a pension lump sum on your death or the proceeds of a life assurance policy on your death.
Trusts for the Disabled and Vulnerable
If your beneficiary is disabled or vulnerable in any way that means that he or she is unable to manage their own affairs, then you may wish to consider alternative options to giving assets directly to them.
The Roles and Duties of a Trustee
Before accepting an appointment as a Trustee, you should ensure you are fully aware of the responsibility and obligations that you will assume in this position. Some of the most basic and obvious duties of a Trustee can be found here.

Client Feedback

“We had a great experience with Frodsham’s. They dealt with our purchase incredibly quickly and navigated the pressures our buyer was putting on us throughout the process. Sue King was very responsive, calm and honest and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and Frodsham’s. I also want to mention Claire on reception-often when I phoned it was in extremely stressful situations and Claire was always so lovely and helpful, giving us information or passing us through quickly. We highly recommend and will be using them again in the future.”

“Frodsham’s are so supportive and helpful. They supported me through a very difficult time, and I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for me. From the receptionist to Kirsty, our solicitor, I could not fault them as a team. The team are all very down to earth and I felt confident that they would explain everything to me in a way I could understand. Well done and thank you.”

“We were extremely pleased with Frodsham’s. Rachael and Sue are a real credit to this firm, their customer service was fantastic and kept us up to date throughout the whole process. Even when we were facing unforeseen issues Rachael and Sue were there to fight our corner and ensure our move happened. We simply cannot fault them, and 5 stars is not enough!”

“Kirsty Strong provided us with a great service and went out of her way to assist us whenever others couldn’t, we will be forever grateful.”

“I recently used Paula for some family advice and I also made a Will through Frodsham’s. Paula was empathetic and clear at a difficult time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Frodsham’s to anyone seeking legal advice. Thank you for looking after me.”

“I would like to start by saying I cannot recommend this company enough. I recently had to get an urgent Power of Attorney for my Father as he was taken into hospital with Covid-19. This was an extremely stressful and worrying time for my family and I, which without a doubt would have been more difficult without the help of Frodshams. Kirsty dealt with everything from start to finish with complete professionalism and empathy. She understood the urgency of the situation and went above and beyond her duty of care as a solicitor to ensure everything was in place. My family and I are extremely grateful and will certainly be using Frodshams again in the future.”
