An absolutely first-rate firm with excellent private client practitioners.
Advising trustees and beneficiaries lies at the heart of the majority of our estate and tax planning work. Our team is at the forefront of assessing the complex nature of trustee obligations and enabling them to fulfil their role and manage their relationships with both their fellow trustees and the trusts’ beneficiaries.
We support individuals who act as trustees as they face a barrage of obligations, liabilities and regulation which require legal advice regardless of how experienced they are. One of the biggest areas of growth in the legal profession is actions against trustees and it is increasingly vital that a trustee takes advice to reduce the risk of trustee liabilities becoming personal.
The Penningtons Manches Cooper private client team has specific expertise in this specialist area and provides clear, pragmatic advice to minimise a trustee’s exposure to liabilities whether to the trust’s beneficiaries or third parties and on the trustee’s obligations in respect of trust assets.
Similarly, we advise beneficiaries on the nature of the obligations owed to them and the proper treatment of trust assets.
