TRUSTS
the benefit of using trusts in your estate plans
Including a trust in your will can provide significant advantages in estate planning, helping you protect your assets and control how they are managed and distributed. Trusts are a valuable tool for ensuring your wishes are honoured, particularly when it comes to protecting beneficiaries, minimising inheritance tax, and even planning for future care costs.
Our experienced team can advise and assist you to maximise the legacy you leave to your family using trusts in your estate planning.
Here are some key benefits of using trusts in your will:
- Protecting Vulnerable Beneficiaries: Trusts ensure that minor children, vulnerable family members, or those not ready to manage their inheritance receive appropriate financial support in a structured way.
- Control Over Asset Distribution: You can set specific conditions for how and when beneficiaries receive their inheritance, ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
- Minimising Inheritance Tax: A well-structured trust can reduce the tax burden on your estate, allowing more of your wealth to be passed on to your loved ones.
- Care Fee Planning: Trusts can help protect your assets from being used to cover care home fees in the future. By passing your assets into a trust, you can ensure that your wealth is preserved for your beneficiaries, rather than being depleted by care costs.
- Safeguarding Family Wealth: Trusts can shield your assets from risks like remarriage, creditors, or financial mismanagement, ensuring your family’s wealth is preserved for future generations.
