"Many trust structures do not achieve intended tax-efficiency and asset-protection strategies. Bamford, trust-streaming and other amendments to existing trusts need to be carefully considered. Sometimes they are unnecessary. CGT and stamp duty (Duties Act 2000) penalties for mistakes are substantial. I advise on how to avoid such pitfalls," says Professor Glover.
