Death is not the end of Planning – help the next generation.

When someone dies, a whole series of complex legal and taxation issues arises for the grieving and busy family to deal with. These days, family members are often widely dispersed and as a consequence misunderstandings arise, with the executor suffering at the heart of them.

Additionally trusts are created on the death which will need professional advice on both tax and legal issues for years to come. You may not realise just how onerous the role of an executor or trustee is – you can be called to account for any errors or omissions in the administration of the estate and of continuing trusts.  This can involve substantial personal liability, so it is not surprising that the more astute executors are looking for an alternative.

So who do they turn to?

a.   Well - they can take a day off and go to see the friendly local solicitor and pay very often in excess of £140 per hour (and often a so called “value element” allegedly intended to reflect the additional responsibility of larger estates) of as much as 1.5% (all + VAT) on top of the cost of the work on a substantial hourly rate, or

b.   Or, perhaps pass it on to a faceless bank, and pay (often) substantially more.  (This is very often the area of income for banks and solicitors who often offer “free” Wills).

Both the above will probably be very interested in talking to the beneficiaries about what to do with their new-found wealth, thus putting at risk your established connections with the family.

Some have been known to miss the tremendous tax planning opportunities offered by an Instrument of Variation – the potential to save £120,000 in inheritance tax.

But there is a new type of help available – the Society of Will Writers Trust Corporation has local representatives throughout England and Wales, and absolutely the latest and best technology to help, then process cases as speedily and as efficiently as possible.

SWW Trust Corporation’s fees are intended to be better than 75% of competitors - because they are efficient they can make a reasonable profit on modest fees.
