Over the last 15 years, we have worked with some exceptional trustees and would be happy to introduce you to them. Once a trust is activated, there are associated costs. Trustees can conduct much of the work themselves or appoint trusted professional assistance. Clients are always welcome to call and ask for guidance.

£750
  • Individual £750 - Couples £1100

They also offer protection against potential loss of assets due to remarriage and possible future financial obligations. When the life interest ends, the property is passed to the beneficiaries and qualifies for inheritance tax (IHT) and the residence nil rate band (RNRB) £175,000 allowances.
  • A) Right To-Occupy (RTO) - gives someone the right to occupy/ live in one of your properties. You can specify within this clause if this arrangement is for a set time or event, or usually for the rest of the person’s life.
