Trust Administration & Disabled Person’s Trusts

Deeds of Appointment & Retirement

 

Trusts can be setup to provide income for specific beneficiaries whilst protecting the capital for other beneficiaries. They can also be set up to manage assets for children, the disabled or indeed anyone.

Disabled Persons’ Trusts can be used to provide for their specific needs without affecting their benefit entitlement. Trustees are appointed to manage the Trust Fund and administer the Trust when it ends.

Trusts for Minors can hold funds for children and young people until they reach a specified age.

Historically Trusts were employed for Inheritance Tax Planning, but are used less and less these days. Whilst Trusts can be very useful they tend to be expensive to administer, and necessitate complicated tax regimes.

Thorne Segar provides the necessary detailed advice and a complete service to establish and administer Trusts. We are frequently called upon to act as professional Trustees to ensure the trust is operated with the necessary expertise and impartiality. And also provide expert guidance regarding comprehensive Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax planning.

FAQs

Can I avoid Inheritance Tax with a Trust?

This is no longer the case following a tax regime change in 2006. The tax regime for Trusts is now very complex.

Can I get assets (or funds) out of a Trust?

It depends on what type of trust it is. The trust deed needs to be considered first to establish who is entitled to what and whether the Trustees have the power to distribute assets.

It needs to be bourne in mind that it is easy to put assets into a trust, but not so easy to withdraw them. Often when assets exit a trust, inheritance tax is triggered. Capital Gains and Income Tax also need to be considered.

Therefore, obtain professional advice before putting assets into trust to ensure it is the right thing for you to do. There are lots of trust companies which actively encourage people to put assets into trust and it is not in the person’s best interests.

Obtain professional advice before extracting funds from a trust. If you are a Trustee you could become personally liable for any tax if you have distributed the trust fund and not retained sufficient money to cover any tax.
Trusts can be a useful way of providing for beneficiaries and protecting assets however it is important to obtain professional advice first.

Why not leave a legacy directly to a Disabled Beneficiary or another family member to take care of?

There are sometimes concerns about a Disabled Beneficiary’s ability to manage money and the receipt of a legacy could affect their benefit entitlement.

People sometimes leave money to other children to take care of a disabled beneficiary but if anything happens to them (e.g death or divorce) the money could be at risk and no real provision made for the beneficiary.

Earlier this year we consulted Thorne Seagar in Minehead about preparing Wills for myself and my wife. We had an interview with Iestyn who we found very helpful and knowledgeble about Wills. We were very impressed with how they advised us on what can be a very tricky subject to deal with. We now have our Wills and peace of mind it is all sorted. We would certainly recommend and use this Solicitor again.

House Sale: I was apprehensive about using a solicitor for the first time, but found everyone I met or spoke to at Thorne Segar was approachable and helpful, ready to translate anything technical or tricky into terms I could understand, and help me appreciate the implication of anything I was asked about or asked to do. A good experience, thank you Liam and the team.

My wife and I received a truly first class service in engaging Thorne Segar, in the persons of Iestyn Milton-Jenkins and Tina, to set up Power of Attorney for us. We really felt that they had our best interest at heart and valued us. Now that all has been arranged we have every confidence in their sincerity and professionalism, and are meeting them soon to arrange the updating of our will.
