I have used Bluebond for setting up a discretionary trust for my children as well as inheritance tax and estate planning for my home and  other properties. Having searched for years, it was only after meeting and speaking with Charles that I felt confident enough to take these next steps, and I'm very glad I did. His ability to explain complex issues in simple terms and walk you through every step of the process is quite simply unparalleled.
