Trusts & Asset Protection Solicitor in York
A Trust can protect family assets from care fees, reduce inheritance tax, and provide for a vulnerable family member. The right Trust depends on your situation — we explain plainly which structure fits and which doesn't.
Why York families choose us for Trusts
York Trusts often centre on inheritance tax mitigation — the city's higher property values push more estates above the IHT threshold. We advise on Discretionary, Property Protection, and Family Investment structures, picking what actually fits.
