Protecting your family wealth for the future

Speak to a trust specialist >

Often misunderstood or regarded as something only for the elite or super rich, we can demystify trusts and show you how they can be used practically and effectively in your circumstances.

Our Trust Service

A trust is best used as part of the overall planning for a family’s affairs. We can help you choose and operate a trust so that it meets your family’s needs and make sure that all the reporting is done correctly. If you have an existing trust, we can assist with its administration.

Services we offer:

  • Advice on the suitability of a trust structure according to unique requirements and family circumstances
  • Acting in the role of trustee through our trust corporation Mercer & Hole Trustees Limited
  • The administration, accounting and taxation reporting for existing trusts, including tax returns and Inheritance Tax (IHT) returns
  • Advice in relation to Capital Gains Tax for the disposal of trust assets and planning regarding the appointment of trust assets to beneficiaries
  • IHT consequences of setting up a trust, ten year anniversary reporting and exit charges in relation to the capital distributions to a beneficiary
  • Reviewing the ongoing effectiveness of a trust created through a Will and assisting the family of the deceased with a future strategy
  • Advice and planning regarding how to wind up an existing trust that has come to the end of its usefulness in the context of the wider family
