Estate of non-domiciled high network individual

Trust us – to reduce your costs and tax
We took on the management of a set of existing trusts. Rather than simply continue with the status quo we looked to identify any improvements we could make to the current set-up. Our experience allowed us to identify a simple re-organisation which reduced both the running costs of the trusts and the beneficiaries’ tax bills
Dividing a family trust
Siblings whose families benefitted from a trust wanted to take it in different directions. We provided a thorough review and analysis of the available options which enabled to beneficiaries to agree a fair and tax efficient split.
Managing a personal injury settlement on behalf of a child
Our client was a child who had been injured at birth and recovered £3 million as a result of a personal injury claim. It was important to look after this properly, while ensuring that the parents, who were responsible for care, were fully involved. We established a trust which could be managed by us but run jointly with the child’s parents
