Trust Planning specialists in Greenwich

Greenwich trust planning for the estate the house has quietly become

A Blackheath family home worth £1.4 million, combined with pensions and savings, is an estate easily above £2 million for a long-married Greenwich couple. Trust planning at this stage preserves allowances and protects the survivor, and most Greenwich couples are overdue for the conversation.

Why Greenwich trust planning falls into two distinct engagement types

Greenwich trust planning divides between long-term Blackheath and Lee homeowners updating outdated wills, and young riverside families drafting first wills with contingent children's trusts. The drafting tools overlap but the starting point and priorities differ substantially.

Long-term Greenwich homeowners typically need life-interest or protective property trusts in redrafted wills, preserving RNRB allowances and protecting the surviving spouse's share of the home. The original wills often predate both RNRB and current property values.

Young Greenwich families typically need contingent trusts for children, life insurance trust arrangements, and basic IHT awareness within first will drafting. Specialist drafters handle both patterns, matching the engagement to the client's actual situation.

The Greenwich trust redraft that captures RNRB before it is lost to tapering

Residence nil-rate band tapers at £1 for every £2 over £2 million in estate value, disappearing entirely above £2.35 million per individual. A Greenwich estate with appreciated Blackheath property may be approaching or crossing the taper, which trust drafting can address through careful planning. Specialist advisors will model the position and draft the wills to preserve as much RNRB as possible.
