Living Trusts, or inter vivos trusts, cover arrangements made during a person’s lifetime to hold assets for beneficiaries. A solicitor drafts the trust deed, advises on funding the trust with assets, and sets out the powers and duties of trustees, including who can manage the trust and when benefits are paid. They assist with ongoing administration, tax considerations, and potential implied debts or claims against the trust. If the settlor becomes unable to manage affairs, they guide succession and lifetime succession planning within the trust structure.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the technical mechanics of setting up the trust, naming trustees, funding with assets, and addressing tax implications, including inheritance tax and income tax. They also manage ongoing administration, distributions to beneficiaries, and potential changes to trust terms, ensuring compliance with the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 where applicable and with relevant reporting requirements.

We valued the personal contact which enabled us us to be perfectly frank. We also valued the prompt action to expedite the process by email after the Royal Mail let us down. The office staff were especially helpful in this.

Acton Afonso

Tagged solicitor Acton Afonso

I want to thank Acton Afonso for his thoroughness and speed in handling my uncle’s case. We needed a will properly drafted and signed asap and Acton was prompt to execute everything we needed. He made himself very available to liaise with during a very stressful time. His communications were prompt. And my uncle was extremely pleased with his service when he met him. My uncle can be very particular, so the fact he was very happy with Acton’s conduct is a testament to his work ethic. 5/5 stars for positive manner, knowledge, speed and very clear communication. If the company offers any bonuses for their solicitors I’m personally asking that they give him the upper tier of whatever bonuses are available. I do customer service work so I know when someone is doing their role and when they are going above and beyond. Acton has gone above and beyond and I imagine that I will be requesting his services in the near future.
