Being A Trustee 

A Law Firm For Life

Administering a trust is a very significant responsibility that must often be undertaken by those with little or no legal experience.

Taking legal advice from an experienced and expert partner is essential. If you have been asked to act as a trustee and require legal advice, or you are unsure of the implications of a trust, Irwin Mitchell can help.

Experts In Trusts

The Irwin Mitchell Tax & Trusts team act as professional trustees on a large number of trusts - either as sole trustees, or jointly with a family trustee. We also act for many trusts where the trustees are all external.

We offer a full trust administration service in which we fully control all of the financial transactions taking place within a trust, including:

  • Managing funds
  • Making income and capital distributions to beneficiaries
  • Preparing annual trust accounts and tax returns and liaising with beneficiaries.

Taking expert advice about trusts is essential to avoid claims from disgruntled beneficiaries, who may feel you have not acted in their best interests.

We also provide advice and administration services for Corporate trustees or adapt our services to suit your particular requirements.
