I regularly advise on, and represent clients in, matters relating to Wills and trusts. My experience includes advising on:
- fiduciary duties
- validity and interpretation of Wills
- cross-border issues (e.g. where there are assets in another jurisdiction)
- actions under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
- procedure (contentious and non-contentious)
I also have extensive experience advising on tax issues, including Inheritance Tax planning and taxation of trusts (e.g. whether a trust is 'settlor-interested', or trust assets should be moved to a company).
