What is a Family Protection Trust?

A Family Protection Trust is a lifetime trust arrangement designed to structure how certain assets are managed and distributed in the future. It may form part of wider estate planning, depending on individual circumstances. Suitability must always be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Are trusts used to avoid care home fees?

Trust arrangements must be established for legitimate planning purposes. Deliberate deprivation of assets may be challenged under existing regulations. We provide compliant advice based on your circumstances and current legislation.

Do trusts reduce inheritance tax?

Trusts can form part of wider inheritance tax planning, but outcomes depend on the type of trust and your individual financial position. We provide structured advice tailored to your situation.

Will I lose control of my assets?

Control structures vary depending on the type of trust established. We explain clearly how trustees operate and what authority is granted before any arrangement is put in place.

Is a trust suitable for everyone?

No. Trusts are not appropriate in every situation. We assess your objectives, family structure, and financial position before recommending any arrangement.
