This is recommended in the event of two possible scenarios

  1.  There is disagreement between beneficiaries as to distribution of assets from the trusts. An external trustee can “act as a referee” and help ensure your wishes are carried out as stated in an “expression of wishes “document you complete at the time of the trust setup.
  2. If your children are all killed together in an accident another trusted person is available to distribute the assets as you would like.

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.
