It has never been so important to ensure that your hard-earned assets are protected both for yourself and future generations so that they can serve the purpose you intend both now and in the future. This is particularly so given the ever changing family and tax legislation. We have an experienced team to advise you in this area of law.

We will formulate the best structure to manage your personal and business assets. We will take a personal approach to ensure that we understand your current situation and aspirations for the future. This enables us to provide tailor-made solutions for you.

The advice which we can provide in relation to trust law and estate law include:

• Family Trusts - This has become one of the best vehicles for providing protection and flexible asset planning. We will advise as to the best trust structure for you, the most cost effective method of implementation of the appropriate trust structure, and advice as to the Trust's ongoing administration.
• Gifting programmes - Essential to the proper implementation and completion of the transfer of assets to a trust is the completion of the gifting programme. We have a computerised schedule to ensure your gifting is updated annually until the gifting is complete.
• Trading Trusts - For clients with particular needs we are able to offer Trading Trusts.
• Blind Trusts - For clients wanting anonymity we can offer a professional trustee holding assets in trust without requiring those clients to also hold as trustees.
• Estate planning and relationship property agreements
• Estate administration - We offer estate administration services from the obtaining of probate to administration to final distribution of estate assets.
• Wills - As part of any estate planning process, the wills are an integral part of the overall package and we can provide full advice in that regard.
• Powers of Attorney
