Personal injury trusts – how I can help
My aim is to help you decide if a personal injury trust is right for you. I deal with most clients by telephone, email and letter and a meeting is rarely necessary. I will:
- Help you decide if a trust for your compensation is right for you.
- Agree a fixed fee so you know the cost – £480 including VAT – correct at September 2023.
- Gather information and documents.
- Prepare a trust deed.
- Guide you through signature and witnessing of the deed.
- Help and guide trustees to open a bank or building society account.
- Give notice to the agencies handling your benefits claim.
- Explain how the trust should operate.
I hope you will find me to be flexible, as I know you have other calls on your time. I am willing to talk out of office hours by prior arrangement, as I know many people can only be available in the evening or at weekends.
Once I have the information I need, I will send you a draft trust within a few days. Once agreed, I will send the trust document to you by post and, once signed and witnessed, your trustees can set up a current account for the trust with a bank or building society.
I will help and guide your trustees to set up an account for the trust. I cannot say I will open a bank account for you, as the process is not in my control. A bank will make its own decision, based on identity, address and credit checks.
As we set up the trust, I will provide lots of information. My aim is that you and your trustees will be able to manage your trust confidently.
