Probate - Trusts; From Setting Up To Winding Up

Tuesday 25 March 2025 | 1.30 – 4.30pm

Botleigh Grange Hotel

Helen Forster, Solicitor and Trusts and Estates Practitioner qualifying in 2009.

 Trusts can be a valuable tool for planning purposes in private client work; however, whilst many practitioners have prepared trusts either inter vivos or on death, management of these moving forward can be problematic, and clients should always be advised fully of the tax liabilities and advantages of each trust before proceeding with setting these up.

You also need to be aware of how to set up a trust, and the pitfalls of negligent drafting.

In addition, trustees must be informed of their duties and obligations, including the new registration of trusts regime that has come into force; a failure to advise clients properly can result in issues in the long term…

This session will run through the different types of trust, how they work, how to draft them and the potential pitfalls.

What you will learn:-

• The most common types of trusts

• Taxation of Trusts

• How to calculate exit charges for relevant property trusts

• Trust drafting and the pitfalls

• The TRS
