Our Expertise

Owners of landed estates face pressures from the viability of farming practices, environmental issues, high land values, urban development and, importantly, the burden of taxation on passing assets down to the next generation. We are experienced in advising trustees and families who own landed estates and can help with:

• Diversification of estates from the more traditional farming practices
• Business and agricultural property relief from Inheritance Tax
• Managing heritage assets
• Alternative business structures, such as limited liability partnerships and family investment companies
• Advising families on keeping assets together through generations
