Planning your estate

We provide personalised and thorough Inheritance Tax and succession planning advice. We can ensure that your estate is organised in the most appropriate way for you and your family.

In most circumstances, this will mean that a will is simply one of the tax and succession planning tools we review with you.

Many of our clients wish to discuss inheritance tax planning, and we will advise you on the options available to mitigate this liability, both in your lifetime and on your death. This advice often includes the creation of trusts, which are frequently used as a method of protecting your wealth for future generations.

Another topic commonly discussed is the creation of a family investment company. This can sometimes provide more flexibility than trusts. Many clients and members of their families face domicile or multi-jurisdictional issues caused by living, working or owning property in different countries.

 

Our comprehensive range of services aim to assist in navigating the complexities of your finances, allowing you to make the most of your money. 

With dedicated offices worldwide, we can provide advice across the globe – helping you go anywhere.
