We can advise on the creation and administration of trusts.

    What are Trusts?

    Trusts are used for different reasons, but the most common reasons are:

    • to control the use of funds in order to provide for a particular person or persons; or
    • to own a property jointly; or
    • as a useful tax planning tool.

    How can we help?

    We draft the trust, or trusts, taking into consideration what it is you are seeking to achieve and the most suitable type of trust for your needs. Everybody’s circumstances are different, and specific powers will need to be drafted according to your wishes. It may be that the beneficiary is a child under 18 years old or lacks mental capacity to deal with finances. Prue Abrahams regularly advises people who wish to create discretionary trusts to cater for the special needs of people with learning or other disabilities.

    Depending upon the trust there are different tax implications upon which we will advise you. We can assist in the setting up and administration and can act as trustees or advisors of trustees as you wish.

    Firmwide

    Highly recommended. Took all of the strain and stress during conveyancing and explained everything clearly and concisely.

    Family & Divorce

    Over the period I found you to be professional, assured, confident and well-prepared dealing with the technical and complex. Sometimes issues were almost forensic. This was complimented by your ability to understand the personal anxiety that a client experiences as the process takes different directions and help with an empathetic approach which was much valued.

    Family & Divorce

    Your great patience was much appreciated, your lovely approach to people made me feel like a friend rather than a client- that makes the trauma of divorce easier to get through. Thank you again for everything.

Without your wonderful advice and your firm’s legal experience, we would not have the outcome we had. I would not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone who needs a brilliant solicitor.

    Child Care

    I will never forget the feeling when I heard the outcome of the court ordering my children to be returned home. I cannot thank you enough for your assistance. Your legal expertise, professionalism and attention to detail went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of my case. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

    Child Abduction

    I just wanted to thank you for all the time, effort and meticulous attention to detail regarding my case over the past year or so.  You are always prepared to go the extra mile, working long hours and your ability to recall the smallest and often most significant details amongst a wealth of facts in my highly complex case never ceases to amaze me.  I appreciate all you have done and the manner in which you conducted my case and liaised with me throughout. It was very reassuring to have you on my side.  I do not know what I would have done without you.
