Introduction

Many practitioners consider trusts within wills; however, it is common for there to be trepidation when considering setting up trusts ‘inter vivos’ or during a client’s lifetime.

Many shy away from setting up these trusts as they are concerned as to how they are viewed by HMRC and do not wish to fall foul of any tax rules.

In addition, clients will need to be advised on the relevant property trust regime and what triggers a charge.

This new full day in-person course will consider the different types of trust you can consider setting up together with the pros and cons of each.

It will also look at the new Trust Registration Service and its impact/requirements, as well as providing practical examples of relevant property trusts, exit charges and calculating 10 year charges.

  • Bare trusts
