- Mental capacity issues and Court of Protection – there are occasions when individuals are unable to make decisions for themselves due to a mental health condition, a severe learning difficulty or a sudden accident – we can help to ensure that your affairs, and those of your family or loved ones, are properly taken care of at a time when you, or they, are at their most vulnerable. This could involve powers of attorney, deputyship applications, or setting up personal injury trusts.
- Tax and trusts – we advise on more general tax and trusts planning as part of a wider wealth protection strategy – UK and/or offshore tax advice or assistance with the creation, management or termination of trusts. We are also able to provide general advice to you if you are a trustee.
