To Trust or not to Trust?
When speaking to clients about Trusts, I often find a common misconception is that they are considered to be an old-fashioned way of manging assets that our grandparents and great grandparents would have used to tie up assets in Wills for future generations. It is also commonly thought that Trusts are only used by the rich and famous to avoid paying tax. But in reality, Trusts still form a very important part of protecting assets and tax planning for almost everyone and should not be overlooked.
