Trusts & Lifetime Gifts

Trusts can provide flexible solutions for a wide range of wealth planning and family or business requirements. Trusts can be used to hold all types of assets including investments, land, quoted and unquoted shares, trading businesses and intellectual property. As experienced trust lawyers, we advise our clients on all aspects of trust law including the creation, use and variation of trusts for all types of clients.
