At Halliday Wills and Legal, we understand the importance of safeguarding your assets and planning for the future.

Our Protective Property Trust service is designed to provide you with comprehensive solutions to protect your property and assets from potential care home costs whilst minimising inheritance tax implications.

What is a Protective Property Trust?

A Protective Property Trust is a legal arrangement that allows you to protect your family home and assets by placing them into a trust. This trust is typically established within your will, and it ensures that your property is held for the benefit of your chosen beneficiaries, often your children or other loved ones, while allowing you to continue residing in the property during your lifetime.

The key feature of a Protective Property Trust is that it safeguards your home from being used to fund potential care home costs. By placing your property into trust, you create a legal mechanism to ring-fence its value, providing financial security for your loved ones and mitigating the impact of care home fees on your estate.

Why might I need a Protective Property Trust?

Care home fee mitigation

A Protective Property Trust is a strategic tool to mitigate the impact of care home fees on your estate. Without proper planning, the value of your home may be used to cover care home costs, potentially depleting your assets.

Preserving your legacy

If you wish to leave a legacy for your loved ones, ensuring that your property is preserved for them is crucial. A Protective Property Trust allows you to designate beneficiaries who will inherit the property after your passing, protecting it from being sold to cover care expenses.

Family dynamics

In situations where you have remarried or have a blended family, a Protective Property Trust can be instrumental in specifying how your assets should be distributed among different family members, providing clarity and avoiding potential disputes.

Maintaining control

With a Protective Property Trust, you retain the right to live in and use the property during your lifetime, maintaining control over your living arrangements.

Our expert team can guide you through the process of creating a Protective Property Trust and provide ongoing support and administration of the trusts.
