Trusts are a useful means of ensuring your assets are protected in a tax-efficient way. They can also play a valuable role in managing the compensation received by an adult or a child for personal injury.
A personal injury trust fund protects any compensation awarded and crucially, ensures that entitlement to important income streams like means-tested benefits and in some cases, local authority support, is preserved. It can also be a useful means of managing assets for individuals who are incapacitated or unable to make financial decisions for themselves.
