Wills Trusts & Tax Planning
We have one of the leading private capital teams in the north east of England. Our standing in this practice area was further enhanced when Eversheds' Newcastle private client department joined us.
We advise on all aspects affecting the private individual and their personal affairs, including:
- Wills
- Trusts
- Inheritance tax
- Capital gains tax
- Business succession planning
- Estate planning
- Court of protection
- Lasting powers of attorney
We make sure that you preserve your assets by minimising the amount of tax payable and that your family and friends inherit what you want them to have.
A number of solicitors in the unit are members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.
We can also represent you when dealing with contested Wills and inheritance issues.
