Wills, Estates & Trusts
Croftfield has a strong track record in advising the appropriate legal structures to be adopted where clients wish to protect their personal interests from their business risks and to preserve their assets for retirement and/or for their children.
From the formation of Family Trusts and the operating of them, to the structuring of affairs to maximise efficiency and for creditor protection purposes, and the drafting of Wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney, all require expert care and advice.
