Setting up a trust

Trusts protect assets, reduce IHT and provide for vulnerable beneficiaries. We advise on the right structure and draft the deed.

Setting up a trust

Common structures

Discretionary Trusts (flexible distribution), Life Interest Trusts (protect capital for children of an earlier marriage), Bare Trusts (for grandchildren), Disabled Person's Trusts (preserve means-tested benefits), and Loan Trusts / Discounted Gift Trusts for IHT planning.

Reporting & registration

We register trusts on HMRC's Trust Registration Service (TRS) within 90 days, file annual SA900 returns, and handle 10-year anniversary charges for relevant property trusts.
