Many people seek to protect their wealth by setting up trusts for the benefit of their children and wider family. When those children (and their children) divorce, it can cause havoc with family financial planning.

The Family Court takes a robust view of trust assets on marital breakdown, including family settlements established either before or after the marriage. We advise on all aspect of these matters including cases in which trustees are reluctant to disclose information.

We are able to call on our firm’s trust and tax department to provide assistance with restructuring to protect assets and minimise tax liabilities.
