Clear Guidance on Creating, Managing, and Understanding Trusts
A trust allows you to appoint people you choose, your trustees, to look after assets for the benefit of others. Trusts can be created during your lifetime or through your Will, and they can be a powerful way to protect family wealth, provide for loved ones, or manage more complex family arrangements.
At Gordons Partnership, our Private Wealth team advises clients on all aspects of trusts, from whether a trust is suitable to how it should be set up, managed, and brought to an end.
Why People Use Trusts
Every family is different, and trusts can be tailored to suit a wide range of needs. We often help clients who:
- Want to protect children from a previous relationship while also providing for a new partner
- Want to pass assets down a generation, but with safeguards in place
- Want to ensure money is managed responsibly for children or vulnerable beneficiaries
- Need a structure that protects assets over time or during life changes
Whatever your situation, we make sure the trust you put in place reflects both your personal and financial circumstances.
How We Help
Trusts can be straightforward, or they can involve complex tax and legal considerations. Our role is to explain everything clearly, without jargon, so you can make informed choices.
We advise on:
- Whether a trust is the right option for your needs
- The type of trust that best fits your aims
- Drafting the trust document
- The duties and responsibilities of trustees
- How the trust can be used alongside your Will and wider estate planning
- Winding up a trust when it has served its purpose
