Despite the 2006 Finance Act, trusts still form a significant plank of estate or succession planning.

At Frettens we can advise on all forms of trust, both from creation to termination, on both the legal and practical aspects of being a trustee and on the complex inheritance tax, capital gains tax and income tax rules that apply. We can provide full administration services or advice as and when required.

We can also advise personal representatives on all types of trusts that may arise under Wills or the intestacy provisions. We are entirely familiar with the issues that arise out of the popular nil rate band discretionary trust wills and can guide the survivor and the family on the options.

Book a Free Appointment

Frettens are pleased to offer a free initial consultation for all new clients. We have always offered this service because we recognise the importance for clients of deciding whether they can work with a particular solicitor and to find out more about the process and likely outcome. Our private client lawyers offer positive, down to earth advice, and we hope that this initial meeting allows you the time to see this as well.

Contact a member of our Private Client Team to arrange a free initial appointment at either our Christchurch or New Forest office, where you will be able to meet your solicitor with no obligation or charge.
