Our Trusts and tax planning service can help you maximise your wealth and leave as much as possible for your loved ones after you pass away, while satisfying all legal and tax requirements.
Trusts are a great way to control how your wealth is passed onto your loved ones and to protect the financial interests of children and vulnerable family members. They can also deliver very significant inheritance tax savings. However, while trusts can protect wealth from inheritance tax, they can still have other tax implications for the beneficiaries, including capital gains tax and income tax, so it is important that you take expert advice. At Coodes, our experienced team of trust and tax-planning solicitors will ensure that you pass on your wealth in the most tax-efficient way.
Our dedicated team is top ranked in Chambers & Partners for trust, tax and wealth-preservation matters and we regularly advise clients and other professionals on appropriate trust law and the related tax implications.

We will also advise on issues such as who to appoint as the trustees and the powers that they might have within the specific trust.
