Trust & Inheritance Issues

Challenges over inheritance and trusts can be complicated, emotionally taxing and expensive. Taking the decision to object to a Will is not a decision to be taken lightly as legal battles can be time consuming and overwhelming. Seeking advice early can mitigate problems further down the line.

When problems do arise, we take a holistic approach to problem solving. Our tailored service ensures every client receives appropriate advice to make informed decisions. As mediators, we can help you resolve inheritance issues outside of court with alternative dispute resolution, which can be a more affordable solution.

Trusts can be effective tools for protecting assets and providing for your loved ones in a tax-efficient way. Where trusts are used for inheritance, it is essential to seek legal advice at the start. Including a trust or inheritance in an asset list can indicate that they are up for grabs in financial disputes. This is a fast moving and changing area of law which our expert solicitors monitor closely to give our clients the best quality advice.
