Trusts provide a valuable way to protect the assets you have accumulated for the benefit of others.
Trusts are great ways of holding and managing assets for people who may not be old enough, ready, or able enough to manage finances for themselves.
We have numerous Trusts to suit all circumstances to ensure that your hard-earned property, money and business pass to those you wish to inherit.

Trusts are a way of holding and managing assets for people who may not be old enough, ready, or able enough to manage for themselves.
There are various reasons why Trusts may be created and several different Trusts which can be tailored to suit your needs. Many individuals avoid Trusts as they believe it is a way of avoiding tax for the super-wealthy. This is a completely mistaken belief. Trusts are effective ways to control the assets you have accumulated and allow you to filter the ways you would like your assets to be passed to the beneficiaries.
Trusts can be a complex area of law and LCS are equipped with the knowledge and experience to guide and advise you on the best options.
Some of the Trusts we specialise in are:
Minor Beneficiary Trust – is a Trust specifically set up for young people under the age of 18 who legally are unable to inherit.
Disabled/Vulnerable Beneficiary Discretionary Trust – for people who cannot manage their affairs because they are mentally incapable, irresponsible or vulnerable.
Property Trusts – an important Trust as they help protect a home for ongoing use after your death. As a property is usually the highest value asset you will ever own, it allows you to ensure that the proceeds go to the beneficiaries you intend them to.
Annuity Trusts – a great way to ensure your financial obligations and commitments are continued after your passing, such as maintaining children or sponsorships.
Incentivising Trusts – an excellent way of incentivising young people to work for their inheritance.
Protective Trusts – a bespoke Trust which allows for special considerations that need to be included within a Will.
Business Trusts – a way of ensuring continuity of your business following your death.
