Trust Solicitors

Trusts can be a powerful tool in estate planning and are often incorporated into Wills for greater flexibility and protection. Our experienced team at Lamb Brooks can guide you through the process of setting up a trust, ensuring it aligns with your unique needs and objectives.

What Are Trusts Used For?

A trust is a legal arrangement where a person (the settlor) transfers assets to trustees to manage on behalf of beneficiaries. Trusts are established through a trust deed, which outlines how and when the assets should be distributed.

Uses of Trusts:

Protecting Assets: Safeguards assets from being mismanaged or lost, ensuring they benefit the intended recipients.
Providing for Dependents: Ideal for vulnerable beneficiaries, such as minors or individuals with disabilities, by ensuring they receive ongoing support.
Preserving Wealth: Ensures that assets remain in the family or are used according to specific wishes.
Controlling Distribution: Enables you to set conditions on when and how beneficiaries receive their inheritance.
