A trust built into your Will lets you control how, when, and to whom your estate passes. For blended families, vulnerable beneficiaries, and protecting your home. Drafted by our STEP qualified team, with an SRA regulated solicitor in-house.
A Will trust is a legal arrangement written into your Will. Rather than handing assets straight to a beneficiary, you place them in trust, managed by trustees you appoint, to be used on the terms you set. It is one of the most powerful tools in estate planning, and getting the wording right is everything.
Decide who benefits, when, and how, rather than passing assets outright with no strings attached.
Choose the people you trust to manage the trust and act in your beneficiaries’ best interests.
A trust can protect assets long after you are gone, against risks the beneficiary cannot foresee.
Trusts are not only for large estates. They solve very common, very human problems.
Provide for a current partner while making sure your own children ultimately inherit, avoiding accidental disinheritance.
Protect an inheritance for someone who cannot manage money themselves, or who relies on means-tested support.
Ring-fence a share of your property so it can pass to your children, rather than being lost to future costs.
