Rachel Sugden LLB (Hons), TEP

I can help you with:

• Advice on preparing wills to suit your needs
• Administration of estates, including very high value estates and those with cross-border issues or business assets
• Inheritance tax planning both during your lifetime or after the death of a loved one
• Protection of business interests
• Creation and administration of trusts upon death or during your lifetime.

My experience includes:

• Assisting clients with the creation of lifetime trusts for the benefit of their wider family, as both a tax planning tool and a means of planning for the next generation and their complex needs
• Helping business owners with ‘crisis and succession planning’ for their commercial interests, ensuring that this meets the needs of their business and their family
• Preparing a successful application for a ‘grant on credit’, where executors of a substantial estate were unable to fund the payment of inheritance tax without the grant of probate.
