Trust Planning & Advice
Trusts can be useful in certain family and estate-planning situations, but they are not appropriate for everyone. The important question is what you are trying to achieve and whether a trust is actually the right way of achieving it.
Could a Trust Form Part of Your Family’s Financial Plan?
Understanding whether a trust structure aligns with your estate goals requires evaluating control, potential tax implications, and long-term family priorities.
Why would someone consider a trust?
A trust may be considered where someone wants to control how assets are held or how they are passed to other people.
The reasons can vary considerably from family to family.
Can a trust help with inheritance tax?
Potentially, depending on the type of trust, the assets involved and the circumstances.
Trust planning can have important tax and legal implications, which is why it should form part of a properly considered estate plan.
Who should consider trust planning?
Trusts may be relevant to families with substantial assets, complex family circumstances or particular wishes around how wealth should be passed between generations.
They are not a simple solution to every inheritance tax problem.
Should I set up a trust myself?
Trusts can have legal and tax consequences, so professional advice should be taken before establishing or changing one.
Corcillium can help you consider the financial-planning implications and work alongside appropriate legal and tax professionals where required.
Important Regulatory & Legal Notice:
Advice on trust creation and certain aspects of tax and estate planning may fall outside the scope of activities regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Tax treatment and relief depend on individual circumstances and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) rules, which are subject to change. Trust law and tax rules are complex, and formal advice from qualified legal and tax specialists should always be sought alongside financial planning.
