Why Asset Protection Matters

In today’s uncertain financial climate, proactive asset protection is vital. Without proper planning, your wealth may be at risk from legal disputes, excessive taxes, creditor claims, or inheritance challenges. Protecting your assets ensures financial stability and preserves your legacy for future generations.

Trust and Foundation Planning

Trusts and foundations are powerful tools for safeguarding assets while ensuring tax efficiency. We assist with:

Establishing and managing trusts tailored to your needs, such as discretionary, family, or charitable trusts.
Structuring offshore foundations to protect assets and ensure compliance with international tax laws.

Estate and Inheritance Tax (IHT) Planning

Effective estate planning can significantly reduce the impact of IHT on your wealth. We provide:

Strategies to transfer assets tax-efficiently to beneficiaries.
Advice on gifting, trusts, and reliefs to minimise IHT liabilities.
Advise on utilising Business Property Relief (BPR) and Agricultural Property Relief (APR) to reduce IHT liabilities.
Assist with lifetime planning strategies, including gifts and exemptions, to minimise the taxable estate.

Business Succession Planning

For business owners, ensuring a smooth transition to the next generation is crucial. We help:

Structure ownership and management succession plans.
Minimise tax exposure during the transfer of business assets.
Develop strategies to transfer ownership through tax-efficient share structures or family investment companies.
Provide advice on Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) as an alternative to traditional succession models.

Asset Structuring

Guidance on separating personal and business assets.
Advice on holding assets through corporate or offshore entities for added security.

Risk Management and Insurance Strategies

Identifying and addressing potential risks to your wealth.
Advising on insurance solutions to cover liabilities and unforeseen events.
Recommend tailored insurance policies to cover high-value assets such as property, art, or investments.
