Estate planning
We have a range of trusts designed to help your clients meet their estate planning objectives. The value of any investment can go down as well as up so your client might not get back the amount they put in.
UK Trust Registration Service (TRS)
From 1 April 2023, the Trust Regulation Service (TRS) regulations have been widened. Due to the 5th Money Laundering Directive an up-to-date HMRC ‘proof of registration’ document may be required before we action certain transactions or make updates to trust details. Our Trust Registration Service completion guide is available here.
