Trusts and Divorce

When a relationship breaks down, assets held in trust can become part of the assets in dispute. Our experienced team can help you resolve the complex issues which arise in these circumstances.

For most people, placing assets in trust is a way to preserve wealth, minimise tax liabilities and manage financial resources more efficiently. However, if your relationship breaks down then the financial integrity of a trust may be questioned.

Our lawyers work closely with our highly regarded Tax and Trusts team and can advise on issues relating to the treatment of trusts on divorce, their variation and how and in what circumstances they may form part of the matrimonial pot.
