Trusts

Trusts can help to protect your assets for the benefit of your family whether you have a complicated family arrangement with children from previous relationships, or perhaps a child with physical or learning disabilities.

Thorneycroft Solicitors, based in Macclesfield, Buxton and Holmes Chapel have an expert team of Wills, Trust and Probate solicitors who specialise in advising on Trusts. We provide our clients with a sensitive and sympathetic service and will guide you through the process from start to finish. Our team is led by a member of STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) who can act as a professional attorney if required.

What is a Trust?

A Trust allows you to efficiently preserve your assets to help benefit your family, especially in later life or after your death. They have their own system of taxation and can offer an efficient way of estate planning and managing inheritance tax.

Our expert team offers comprehensive advice and guidance on trusts and estate planning including a full trust administration service for new and existing trusts.

What are the benefits of setting up a Trust?

• Inheritance Tax efficiency (IHT)
• Asset protection should you need residential care
• Asset protection for family following divorce
• Means-tested benefits could be protected
• Any awards for personal injury damages protected
• Preserving assets of family members with disabilities

As well as setting up trust we can also do the associated administration such as:
