Trust and Estate Tax
with Rushtons, Chartered Accountants

A trust is an invaluable financial instrument for the preservation and transition of family wealth through generations. It provides a secure avenue for managing diverse assets such as cash, real estate, investments, and company shares. Trusts can be established during an individual's lifetime or as a component of a will. Their flexibility extends to various purposes including educational fee planning, marital dispute protection, family wealth planning, and succession planning.

Given life's unpredictability and the complexities it brings, such as potential family disagreements and intricate tax planning issues, trusts offer a robust solution. They ensure your assets are meticulously managed and allocated in alignment with your directives. Moreover, trusts are integral in estate management, and can offer substantial tax advantages. They play a critical role in compliance with HMRC regulations and provide the reassurance that your heirs or beneficiaries are thoughtfully provided for.
