Experienced UK and International Tax and Trust lawyers
Blake Morgan’s nationwide Tax and Trust lawyers, comprises specialist trust lawyers and administrators, who advise individuals and their families on all aspects of trust and personal tax law as part of a wider wealth protection strategy. This includes UK and/or offshore tax and trust advice, trust reporting obligations or assistance with the creation, management or termination of trusts. Our experienced UK and international Tax and Trust lawyers also work closely with our Contentious Trusts, Corporate and Real Estate teams to advise trustees, beneficiaries and other fiduciaries on issues ranging from trusts disputes, corporate and property law.
Main Areas Of Practice
Our Trust lawyers provide expert advice on a full range of issues including:
Trust creation
Trusts remain an important part of asset protection planning, especially for those wishing to pass wealth to future generations who are not financially or emotionally astute or to protect against divorce and bankruptcy. Our Trust lawyers can set up a trust to provide flexible and effective solutions.
Alternatives to a trust
Where a trust is created or is in existence, our Trust lawyers can advise on how the trust can be used as part of a tax and succession planning strategy to mitigate Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax or Income Tax payable on your death.
Trust management
Our Trust lawyers can assist new and existing trustees with all aspects of day-to-day trust management including advising trustees about their powers and duties under trust legislation, helping trustees to choose appropriate investment advisors and liaising with beneficiaries to ensure the trust fulfils its purpose.
Preparation of trust accounts and annual tax returns
Our specialist Trust lawyers and in-house trust account managers can prepare annual trust accounts, annual tax returns and can provide trustees with advice on all taxes applicable to a trust.
Trust termination
Our Trust lawyers also have experience in terminating trusts and advising the beneficiaries of their tax position once the trust ceases.
Collaborative approach
We can work with your own professional advisors to provide a collaborative approach to the advice you need. Through our connections with the international network (TAG Law) we are recognised as leaders in the field of international tax and cross-border trust issues.
Trusts disputes
Our Trusts and Contentious Trusts teams can identify the strategies for resolving disputes whether with trustees, beneficiaries or other fiduciaries.
