The use of trusts

01 April 2009



The use of trusts, whether in a lifetime settlement or a will, can have great benefits in making long term financial provision for your family and can assist in mitigating tax.

Through the use of trusts we are able to help our clients organise family wealth (including business and landed estates) across the generations.

Our role often involves using trusts (or other appropriate vehicles) to structure clients’ business affairs and family investments, dealing with taxation issues arising on divorce and reducing taxes on death. We are also able to advise clients on all aspects of both onshore and offshore trusts.

The B P Collins Trust team understands the role of a trustee and can guide you through the increasing legislation that encompasses your trustees’ duties.

Our Trust Corporation is headed by three equity partners in B P Collins and a trust administrator. This gives maximum flexibility in terms of the day-to-day running of your trust.

We can assist with all types of trust arrangements and will interpret the terms of any trust and implement the provisions.

We can offer efficient and expert handling of your trustee compliance obligations and assist with the day-to-day maintenance of your trust, including any key changes that affect the trust over time.

If you require advise, please contact our trust administrator Cristine Benn on 01753 279062 or email cris.benn@bpcollins.co.uk.
