Trust & estate planning support

Working with solicitors, trustees and advisers on the investment questions that arise around family estates.

Overview

Overview

Trustees, solicitors and executors regularly face investment questions that sit slightly outside their day-to-day work: how a portfolio should be positioned, how liquidity will be met, and how a specialist holding interacts with the wider estate.

New Walk works alongside those professionals on the investment side of the question, leaving legal drafting and tax advice with the advisers already appointed.

The starting point is always the structure of the estate rather than a product. [Scope of engagement, terms and any professional appointments to be confirmed.]

Considerations

What matters in practice

The points below are the ones that tend to decide outcomes, and the ones worth putting to any provider.

Estate liquidity

Tax and expenses often fall due before assets can be realised, particularly where holdings are unlisted.

Trustee duties

Trustees have their own obligations when considering specialist or illiquid holdings.

Beneficiary interests

Income and capital beneficiaries can want very different things from the same portfolio.

Interaction with reliefs

Holdings intended to qualify for relief need to be reviewed, not simply established and left.

Probate practicalities

Valuation and realisation of specialist holdings can extend the administration timetable.

Coordination

Solicitor, accountant, adviser and trustee all hold part of the picture; alignment matters.

Support

How New Walk helps

Support is practical and specific rather than promotional. The aim is that an adviser can explain a proposition, and their reasoning, without relying on the provider's marketing language.

 

  Investment input alongside existing legal and tax advisers, without displacing them.

  Review of how specialist holdings sit within an estate and its liquidity profile.

  Practical explanation of specialist propositions for trustees and executors.

  [Engagement terms and scope to be confirmed.]
