Trusts
and Tax
As a result of our extensive experience of dealing with the concerns of those planning for their future, the elderly and their families we are able to give you the most up to date and practical solutions to any problems you may have.
Crossmans MTA have had a specialist department for many years and during this time have advised and assisted hundreds of clients to sort out those often complex questions about their property, assets and financial affairs.
Louis Browne is the partner in charge of this department. He qualified as a solicitor in 1979 and has specialised in wills, trusts and tax since 1985. Louis is based in the Cambridge office, but we are able to offer advice from our Cambridge branch.
For those local clients unable to come into the office Louis is pleased to arrange home visits.
Trusts
A trust is a legal device which enables you to separate ownership of an asset (whether that asset is a house, investment or cash) from the right to use the asset or to receive its income. A trust is not a complicated legal device that has no place outside a Dickens novel unless you are a multi-millionaire. Trusts offer a simple and effective solution to a whole range of practical problems for example the death of parents with young children, divorce, how to provide for children from different marriages, bankruptcy, spendthrift children, disabled children, and many other situations.
Tax Planning
Tax law is complex and ever changing. We can advise you on the best way to plan ahead and to arrange your affairs so that your estate can be passed on with a minimum charge to tax.
