LEGAL SERVICES

Tax and social changes have transformed the way in which high net worth UK families approach the management of their wealth. We can help you with succession, tax, Wills and trust advice to ensure that your estate is passed on, whether during your lifetime or by Will, in the most efficient manner. We are sensitive to the personal issues that can arise in the modern, non-nuclear family and aim to provide you with solutions that work in the context of the family dynamics. In particular:

  • We advise on Inheritance Tax planning during your lifetime and by Will with suitable gifting plans, trusts and other mechanisms
  • We can create trusts and prepare Wills that ensure the efficient management of the family assets for the benefit of future generations
  • We advise on and set up family investment companies for those who wish to hold and manage family wealth collectively
  • We can help business owners obtain the tax breaks available to them and ensure an efficient transfer to the next generation or plan for an eventual sale
  • We have experience in helping those privileged to be the stewards of landed estates to preserve and enhance them in a changing world

  • Capital Gains Tax:
