Estates, Tax and Trusts
Burges Salmon’s expertise in farming and rural land is only matched by its experience in dealing with estates and private clients nationwide. We also enjoy a large international trust and tax practice, and offer our clients regular briefings on topical agricultural, property and tax and trusts issues to keep them up to date on legal developments.
Led by Charles Wyld and Tom Hewitt, the team provides long-term strategic advice on estate planning, including specialist areas such as heritage property, agricultural and business property relief and charities. We also advise on more immediate estate management issues such as farming, diversification and tenancy structures, employment, development land and divorce.
Our diverse client portfolio, which includes estates of national importance, magnitude and complexity, means Burges Salmon is uniquely placed to advise on the full range of issues in this area. This includes the creation, management or changes to family trusts (see Tax and Estate Planning), advice on alternatives to trusts, development land tax planning, tax-effective trading structures and on minimising tax on diversification projects.
We also offer comprehensive advice on estate planning, wills and probate (see Wills, Probate and Incapacity)
