Will Trusts – Providing for your financial dependents, along-side Document Assist you can include unlimited trusts as and when you need them. Trusts are £275 per will or 4x quarterly payments of £68.75 interest free. Should a Severance of Tenancy be required to set up a Property Trust there is a fee of £120, this applies where we need to convert Joint Tenants of a property to Tenants in Common.

The most common cases where we write a Trust into Wills are:
• Providing for elderly relatives living with you; ensuring they can continue to live in your property when you pass away.
• Providing for a new spouse when you have children from a previous relationship; ensuring your new spouse can continue to live in the property and your children inherit accordingly. In some cases where a trust has not been implemented children from a previous relationship can be affected by sideways disinheritance where all assets pass to the new spouse and no provision is made for the children.
• Providing for loved ones with a disability, physical or mental; ensuring they could inherit a large sum of money without affecting their benefits or financial stability.
• Providing for loved ones who could not manage an inheritance; ensuring they would not have their inheritance swallowed up in debts due to financial irresponsibility or possibly addiction.
• Providing security of inheritance to specific beneficiaries rather than people who may interfere were they to inherit such as divorcees.
