Trusts And Estate Disputes Solicitors for clients in Sussex including Brighton, Uckfield and Seaford

Trusts can be used in a variety of circumstances, allowing you to provide for your family but still retain some control over when and how beneficiaries receive the assets. A trust arrangement is a common choice for many parents who are concerned at the prospect of their children going through a divorce or facing money problems in the future.

Children with a disability can also be protected by the use of a trust in your will. It can also help safeguard a beneficiary’s right to state benefits.

Existing trust arrangements need to be reviewed regularly. Trustees need to take into account changes in tax legislation, changes brought about by the death or retirement of a trustee or a change in a beneficiary’s circumstances.

At Rix & Kay, we advise trustees in connection with their obligations and duties and help ensure that they make informed decisions, having been advised on all the possible options.

They can advise executors on tax planning opportunities and can help with any other technical issues that may arise, such as dealing with assets held abroad or maybe advice in connection with a family dispute.
