Trustee and executorship services

Acting as a trustee or executor is an important responsibility and often a daunting one. The acceptance of such a role is not to be taken lightly as you could be held personally liable in a wide variety of circumstances.

There could be a benefit in appointing a trust corporation. This is a company based in the United Kingdom that can undertake trust business in England and Wales. Appointing a trust corporation can remove the risk of you being personally liable. Such an entity can also receive the proceeds of land sold, act on appointments and validly discharge outgoing trustees.

Another benefit of appointing a trust corporation is that you gain a truly independent partner. This could remove conflicts of interest, provide expertise and ensure continuity. A trust corporation could also help you to keep up with ever-changing legislation, something individual trustees often find challenging.
