Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about trusts and trust administration

What's the difference between a will and a trust?
A will takes effect when you die and goes through probate. A trust can operate during your lifetime and after death, often avoiding probate and providing more control over when and how beneficiaries receive assets.
Are trusts only for wealthy people?
No. Trusts can benefit families of all means—for example, protecting your home from care fees, providing for a child with disabilities, or ensuring stepchildren and biological children are both provided for.
What are the tax implications of trusts?
Trusts have their own tax rules. Some transfers into trusts may trigger inheritance tax; trusts may pay income tax and capital gains tax. We advise on the tax implications and help you make informed decisions.
