    Trusts

    If you have people who rely on you financially and need to be looked after but you do not want to simply gift them money or property then you may want to give some serious consideration to setting up a trust.

    Broadly speaking, a trust is an arrangement by which at least two individuals known as Trustees, hold assets on behalf of another, known as a beneficiary.  Trusts are an excellent method of helping individuals to save tax, effectively increasing the value of your assets.  Whether you want to leave your assets to children you are not currently old enough to manage their own affairs or you feel are not ready for the responsibility, buy a buy-to-let property jointly with a friend, or pass some of the value in your business to your children, a Trust can help in all of these situations.

    At QS J A Hughes we can help with the setting-up of trusts, provide you with advice on how to deal with HM Revenue and Customs and the costs associated with setting up a trust and continue to advise you on it’s running in the long-term.

    If you require any information or assistance in relation to setting up or running a trust, please contact our specialist team today on 01446 411 000.

    Expert legal advice you can rely on:


    Wills and probate

    Life is full of twists and turns and none of us can be sure what the future holds.

    Deputyships

    If you are concerned that a relative is losing capacity or has already lost capacity and they do not have a Lasting Power of Attorney or Enduring Power of Attorney in place then you may need to apply for a Deputyship Order from the Court of Protection.

    Inheritance and tax planning

    Planning ahead for when you die allows you to set out clearly who should get what from your estate. QualitySolicitors can help you think through your plans and their financial impact. Our aim is to ensure that your loved ones are cared for when you no longer can.

    Making a Will

    For many of us, making a will is something we know we should do but never quite get round to. Of course, it’s important not to put it off and the good news is that at QualitySolicitors J A Hughes, making a will could be much quicker and easier than you think.

    NHS Continuing Healthcare

    If you or a relative are receiving care, and you have complex and ongoing health needs then you could be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare. NHS Continuing Healthcare is a package of health care arranged and funded solely by the NHS. The setting in which the care is being received has no effect on eligibility.

    Power of attorney

    In an uncertain world it’s reassuring to know that our wishes will be respected even if we’re not in a position to make our own decisions. That’s why many people choose to create a lasting power of attorney (LPA) to provide protection should an accident or ill health prevent them from making decisions in the future.

    Probate and estate administration

    Losing someone close to you is extremely difficult and administering their estate is an important step to undertake. In some circumstances, this is more difficult because there is no Will or it is somehow invalid. QS J A Hughes can guide you through this process, identifying what the right steps are whether the deceased had a Will or not.

    If you have people who rely on you financially and need to be looked after but you do not want to simply gift them money or property then you may want to give some serious consideration to setting up a trust.
