Trusts

Our approach to Trust Law is straightforward. We take the time to discuss with our clients what they are looking to achieve and how they can reach their goals in a way that suits their circumstances.

Trusts often involve administration work and tax reporting obligations which can be complex. It is vital for us to ensure that our clients are aware of what they are trying to do, how their goals can be achieved, both now and in the future, and what will be involved.

As of the 1^st September 2022, HM Revenue & Customs require the vast majority of Trusts to be registered with their Trust Registration Service. We can advise clients of their reporting obligations and how they can ensure that their trust matters are compliant.

If a Trust is not suitable for a client then we will inform clients of this and advise on other options available to them. We often advise clients on Trusts that have been created for them by advisers from other firms who have not fully informed their clients of everything that was involved. In those situations we can assist clients in unwinding Trusts that are unsuitable whilst complying with all of their administration and tax reporting obligations.

A Pinney Talfourd Trust Lawyer will explain Trusts in simple language and often work with other professionals such as Accountants and Financial Advisers to achieve the best outcome for our clients.

Our Trust lawyers are all fully accredited members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), a global professional body of practitioners that help families plan for their futures.

Our team members also have accreditations with Solicitors for the Elderly and the Law Society’s Private Client Section, so our clients can be sure that they are receiving advice from lawyers who are experts in their field.

We are flexible with client appointments, be it in one of our offices, in your home or by video calls at a time that is convenient to you. Call us, email, visit one of our offices throughout Essex and London, or arrange for a consultation through the “Get in touch” form on our website.

If you need a firm of Trust solicitors who will be there to help you achieve the best outcomes for you and your loved ones, for now and the future then please contact us today.
