Once a trust is established, whether to benefit future generations, make tax savings or for a charitable purpose, it needs to be effectively administered and managed if the most is to be made out of the assets it was set up to protect. It also needs to comply with complex trust laws, tax rules and regulations. Murray Beith Murray has the experience and expertise you need in one complete trust administration package – Your Trust.
We have one of the largest and most experienced trust management practices in Scotland, and regularly provide sound, commercially-minded advice and assistance with trust administration and financial management, from the day-to-day running of trusts to winding them down once they have served their purpose.
We provide trustees with guidance on fulfilling their duties, from assistance interpreting the terms of the trust deed to complying with the legal requirements, such as keeping records of trustee decision-making and providing beneficiaries with information. In particular, we have vast experience helping trustees:
-
- build and manage investment portfolios
- solve cross-border issues
- prepare and submit accounts and tax returns
- conduct trustee meetings
- liaise and make payments to beneficiaries and relevant third parties
- appoint new trustees or deal with the resignation of existing trustees
- reorganise trusts
Trusts can be complex, not only in terms of managing the assets they hold but also in making sure they fulfil their purpose. Trustees must also do all of this in compliance with specific statutory duties. Our aim is to provide guidance that ensures trusts are effectively administered and soundly managed, providing trustees with the support they need, when they need it.
