Trusts and estates
At Mazars we want to help protect our clients from unexpected tax bills and assist in passing on your assets in a tax efficient manner.
A Trust is not just for the wealthy, a trust can be used by anyone wishing to plan ahead. A Trust can serve many purposes - from financing educational costs, providing maintenance to children, grandchildren or other relatives or simply planning to pass wealth through generations and specifying specific people that can benefit from that Trust.
