Solicitors for setting up a trust
There are many reasons why you may want to set up a trust. For example, you may want to protect your assets to safeguard against things like marriage breakdowns. You may want to provide for vulnerable beneficiaries, to provide for future generations, or for tax reasons.

Avoid costly mistakes with sound advice
Regardless of the complexity or value of the assets you would like to protect, you will need specialist legal advice to ensure tax-efficiency and avoid any potentially costly mistakes or future disputes.
Our trust solicitors and lawyers offer specialist advice on many areas of asset protection, including setting up trust funds, administration of trusts and estates, bare trusts, life interest and discretionary trusts.
