A trust involves giving assets, which can be money, stocks and shares, property etc to Trustees who administer the assets in accordance with the terms of the Trust.

There is a common perception that Trusts are only for the wealthy but with soaring house prices many more families are being caught by Inheritance Tax merely because of the value of the family home. With careful tax planning such as arranging a pattern of lifetime gifts or making a Will the payment of taxes such as income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax can be minimised or even avoided.

If you want to maximise the benefit that your family receives from your estate then tbi can assist you to structure your estate accordingly.

The Trust team which is part of the Private Client Department acts for a number of trusts, including Charitable Trusts and has experience in the creation, administration and winding up of Trusts. It provides a full service including the preparation of annual accounts and completion of annual income tax returns.
