wills, probate/estates, trusts & tax planning

Tax law is complex and constantly changing. Most families' circumstances change within a 3/5 year time frame e.g. because of family business, or financial difficulties, a birth, a death, a marriage/remarriage or a divorce. The needs of family members can all affect the arrangements you might have made, so it is important that you have in place (and regularly review) those arrangements to ensure the financial and emotional stability of your family.

We can advise you on the best way to plan ahead to secure what you want and to potentially minimise future tax liabilities. We will help to ensure that you have an appropriate, relevant and tax efficient Will. We can also help you to protect your family e.g. by setting up a trust. Don't think that trusts are just for the very wealthy. We can tailor a programme/solution to meet your specific needs.

Our team have collated a will checklist for you information and can advise you on:

• Wills
• Trusts (set up either in Lifetime or on Death (through a Will))
• Inheritance Tax Planning
• Capital Gains Tax Planning
• Powers of Attorney
• Retirement & Succession Planning
