Trusts Solicitors
Creating a trust can be a complex process, so approaching a trustworthy and experienced legal professional is essential. Your lawyer will support you in setting up and managing your trust and can also support trustees with their responsibilities.
As a trustee, you are responsible for looking after a person’s assets on behalf of their beneficiaries. The responsibilities of a trustee can be demanding, so to avoid incurring liability it is essential to seek the appropriate legal advice.
Every person has unique circumstances when it comes to trust creation and maintenance. Therefore, at Bowsers Solicitors, we will take the time to explain the process in detail, answering your questions and putting your mind at ease.
