WW & J McClure Trust Corporation
When making a Will, Lasting Power of Attorney, or setting up a Family Protection Trust, your first thought may to be appoint family or close friends as Executors, Attorneys or Trustees. However they may not always be the most appropriate people to administer the estate, deal with your financial affairs in the event of you being unable or incapable of doing so and act as a Trustee and more importantly, they may not want to act.
You should consider if they will act impartially and carry out your wishes without having regard to family dynamics. In addition to these considerations, the administration of estates and trusts can often be complex, with strict duties and responsibilities placed upon Executors and Trustees and compliance requirements. This may be particularly daunting for family or friends to deal with.
To help with this, McClure has set up the WW & J McClure Trust Corporation Limited which could act as a Professional Trustee of your Family Protection Trust, Attorney to assist with the management of your financial affairs in the event of you being unable or incapable of doing so and Executor under your Will.
Whatever your wishes regarding the ultimate destination of your estate or trust fund, WW & J McClure Trust Corporation will ensure these are followed. Our Trust Corporation is completely unbiased towards the beneficiaries of your estate or trust and impartial in its decision-making.
We provide our Trust service for clients of Independent Financial Advisers etc. and other solicitor firms. We regularly advise on the creation of Lasting Powers of Attorney and assist Attorneys in their acting. We are experienced in managing the potentially difficult process of obtaining Probate quickly and cost-effectively.
