Trusts and Estate Planning
practical legal advice and assistance
Amorys’ Solicitors’ team of private client lawyers offers a highly personalised service
It is important to have appropriate arrangements in place so that your assets pass to your beneficiaries as tax-efficiently as possible and at a suitable time.
Whether making your own succession plans or managing assets on behalf of somebody else as a trustee or attorney, it’s important to receive proper guidance and support. As a firm of registered solicitors with the Law Society of Ireland, Amorys Solicitors LLP can offer practical legal advice and assistance to ensure family and trust assets remain protected and secure and respectfully passed down in a manner that is beneficial to those inheriting.
As a long-established general practice firm with a large private client base in Ireland, we have experience advising clients on wealth and succession planning. Amorys Solicitors LLP provides legal advice on tax-reliefs and trust structures available for business owners and family members some of whom may be dependent.
Advising private clients has become progressively more complex over the last few decades. In an increasingly globalised world it is common for individuals and their families to have ties to other jurisdictions, and to hold assets abroad. Carefully considered planning is therefore essential to avoid unwanted tax and succession consequences. As founding members of Lawyers Associated Worldwide (L.A.W.), a global network of full-service law firms in over 95 cities and commercial centres around the world Amorys Solicitors LLP has gained particular expertise in advising non-resident clients on trust and estate planning matters involving multi-jurisdictional issues.
