Cameron's work highlights

International Estate Planning

We advised an HNW family regarding implementing a suitable and tax-efficient estate plan, including establishing a trust and other comprehensive advice in order to reduce the potential inheritance tax liability. With family members located in various countries around the world, it was essential to liaise with local advisers in other jurisdictions so as to ensure the estate remained effective and globally tax-efficient and, vitally, meet their estate planning objectives.

Maximising Estate Value

We advised the executors and trustees of an estate where, albeit the individual had died leaving a Will, the deceased did not receive tax advice and therefore the estate was initially tax-inefficient. There was a strong potential of litigation bearing in mind the wishes left by the testator. By carefully negotiating with beneficiaries of the estate, we were able to extract more value from the estate than if the Will had been adhered to and therefore all the residuary beneficiaries receiving a larger share of the estate than they would have otherwise.

Restructuring Family Assets to Mitigate Tax Liabilities

In light of the incoming changes of the rules regarding domicile and residency, we advised family members regarding the restructuring of the familial assets so as to mitigate primarily inheritance tax. Subsequently, due to our ongoing instructions, we have reduced the global income and capital gains tax liabilities profoundly.
