Trust Structures & Succession Planning

A trust is a legally enforceable arrangement that manages assets (money, investments, land, or buildings) for the benefit of the trust beneficiaries. The named trustees manage a trust. Those involved in a trust are:

• the ‘settlor’ – the person who puts assets into a trust
• the ‘trustee’ – the person who manages the trust
• the ‘beneficiary’ – the person who benefits from the trust

Experienced Trusts and Estates Lawyers

A robust and well-structured trust has many benefits for all involved. However, trust law is extremely complex, so seeking appropriate guidance from a qualified legal professional is vital. Our specialist private client team at Langley Wellington has the knowledge and expertise to guide you through the various types of trusts available. We will take the time to understand your objectives, advising you on the most suitable trust for your requirements.

Our experienced trusts and estate lawyers in Cheltenham and Gloucester have decades of experience between them, dealing with many different assets in the UK. As part of your succession planning process, we can advise on trust structures to shelter assets from inheritance tax or life events such as divorce and bankruptcy. This may also be important in planning for the succession of the family business.

Along with providing continued legal guidance to existing trustees, we can also act as trustees and on tax-efficient ways to manage the trust.

We can advise on all forms of trusts and trust matters, including:

• Family Trusts & Asset Protection
• Discretionary Trusts
• Personal Injury Trusts – to help manage personal injury compensation
• Trust Disputes

Regardless of the complexity of your situation, our expert private client team can help.
