A cornerstone of your financial planning, we’ll work with you to arrive at a suitable strategy for yourself and future generations, to help ensure your tax and trust needs meet your objectives during your lifetime and beyond.

We’ve built our reputation in trust and tax around strong relationships. We act as corporate trustees* to many family trusts and charities, with support provided by a talented team of Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) — qualified practitioners, chartered accountants, chartered tax advisers and solicitors.

We’ll manage all of your trust and tax affairs under one roof, and we’ll liaise with advisers and specialists so you can focus on other things.

A selection of the services we offer are:  
Corporate trustee  
Corporate executorship
Trust advisory 
Inheritance tax and succession planning
Tax planning
Private philanthropy

*These services are not regulated by the FCA/PRA.

Our team can help in preparing wills and giving advice on inheritance tax; they can take care of issues connected to residential property, like purchase, lending and right issues, and they are expert in the complexities of landed estates.
