Trusts

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.

Our team have many years of experience in helping clients and their families navigate the legal process during some of life’s most challenging and difficult times. Our Private Client Director, Kirsty Strong, heads the team of 5 solicitors and 2 trainee solicitors and has been working in this area since 2009, handling some difficult and complex matters in that time.  Our Managing Director, Amanda Woods works alongside the team and has more than 20 years of experience working with the elderly and vulnerable client.

Our solicitors have experience in all aspects of private client law, and we dedicate ourselves to ensuring our knowledge stays up to date, in order to give you the best service possible. They have between 1 and 10 years of experience in the area. We make sure that junior solicitors and members of staff are supported and supervised appropriately so that the quality of advice is not affected, regardless of who is working on your case.

We also employ a team of around 5 legal assistants into the dept. who do much of the day to day work on cases. Although they are not legally qualified, they have between 2 and 30 years’ experience, have received extensive training within our firm and work under the direct supervision of a solicitor with at least 5 years post qualification experience.

We have a proven track record in achieving an effective and caring service throughout our departments. You can find out more about our price information on our website.
