Using trusts
Trusts have become a mainstream planning tool for protecting wealth.
They might be used to reduce the inheritance tax paid by beneficiaries or to protect a family member when you die.
There are many types of trust that can be used, so it's important to get specialist financial advice from a reputable financial adviser such as The Private Office.
Useful if you want to provide for someone you do not know, such as an unborn grandchild.
This could be used for gifting to children, and in certain circumstances are inheritance tax free.
If you are administering a trust for the benefit of someone else its important to understand your responsibilities.
