Trusts are often used to hold assets for children until they are old enough to receive them. 👨‍👩‍👦

They provide a secure way to manage and protect assets, ensuring they are used in the best interests of the beneficiaries. Trusts can be tailored to meet specific needs and goals, making them a versatile tool in estate planning.

For a comprehensive understanding of how trusts can benefit your estate planning, visit our website. Our introductory section on Trusts will equip you with the basic principles and prepare you for a more detailed discussion with your adviser. Whether you're considering setting up a trust for your children, protecting assets, or planning for the future, understanding the fundamentals is the first step.

Who are Executors and what are their responsibilities?

An Executor is a person who is appointed in the deceased’s Will to deal with the administration of their estate after their death. It is an Executor’s responsibility to:

🔹Determine what property and other assets the deceased owned, as well as their liabilities.
🔹Arrange for current valuations of personal possessions, property, investments, any pension or insurance entitlements due and also any debts and bills
🔹Arrange for the payment of the funeral
🔹Establish Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax liabilities and complete the necessary tax returns to submit to the Revenue
🔹Complete and submit the necessary Probate Registry forms
🔹Arrange the clearance and sale of any property
🔹Collect assets and pay any debts
🔹Arrange for the distribution of legacies and gifts to the beneficiaries
🔹Compile detailed accounts to give to the main beneficiaries
In the case of minor children being beneficiaries, then the Executor may act as Trustee for ongoing trusts, to hold their monies until they reach 18.

We’ve always been an inclusive business and believe that people that work for us and with us should do so based on merit and because they are the best to do the job. We’ve taken that a step further and have made a formal commitment to the Government’s Disability Confident Committed scheme!
