Personal Injury Trust Lawyers, Lincolnshire
If you have received compensation following a Personal Injury claim, you could be eligible for a Personal Injury Trust. This can prevent a loss of any means-tested benefits.
We are experts in this highly complex area, and can provide practical, hands on support for Clients in Skegness, Boston, Sleaford, Lincoln, Scunthorpe, Grimsby, rural Lincolnshire and throughout the UK.
Protect your compensation
Many means-tested benefits require you to have no more than £6,000 in savings. By putting any compensation you receive into a Trust, this money will not affect your capital savings limit.
You may not receive means-tested benefits right now, but you may wish to protect your compensation from the growing cost of long-term residential care in the future.
Support at every stage
It is recommended that you appoint two or more Trustees to control the money held within the Trust. These must be people that you trust with this responsibility.
Solicitors in our Team are often happy to act as professional Trustees where it is appropriate to help safeguard your Trust. Our specialist Wills and Probate Team would be happy to discuss this with you when drafting your Trust.
Experts in Trusts
We provide specialist advice to ensure that your Trust is drafted correctly and meets your specific needs, both now and in the future, without having an adverse effect on future benefits and the payment of care home fees.
Our Team is also experienced in bringing Trusts to an end, including offering guidance on the tax implications of ending a Trust.
