Puzzled about property trusts?

Don't worry, local expert Kate Sutherland, from Set in Stone Wills and LPAs is here to offer trustworthy, easy to understand advice for people in the local area.

Kate said: "Property trusts can be a valuable part of estate planning, but they are not suitable for everyone.

"Before making any decision, it is essential to understand exactly how the trust works and whether it is right for your circumstances.

"A properly drafted trust within your will may help protect a loved one's right to remain in the family home, preserve part of the property for children from a previous relationship, or provide greater control over who ultimately inherits.

"However, property trusts can also have important legal, tax and practical consequences.

"Be cautious of anyone promising that a trust will automatically protect your home from care fees—there are no guarantees, and deliberate deprivation of assets rules may apply.

"At Set in Stone Wills and LPAs, we provide clear, honest advice tailored to you and your family.
