Wrigleys Trustees Limited is a specialist UK registered trust corporation

Trusteeships can be intricate, time consuming or simply unfamiliar to many people newly appointed as a trustee.

The benefits of a 'professional trustee'

A professional trustee can be a helpful alternative to appointing family members on their own. Benefits to appointing a professional trustee include:

  • Reducing the burden on family trustees;

  • Reducing the risk of a conflict of interest between trustees;

  • Overcoming any disruptions caused by the retirement or absence of an individual solicitor if they are the professional trustee;

  • Assisting with difficult or controversial decisions; and

  • Assisting with trustee processes and regulatory requirements (such as FATCA obligations (Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act).

Please see our article on The benefits to families of appointing a corporate trustee explaining the benefits of having a professional trustee.

"I highly regard the excellent, efficient and problem-solving service provided by Wrigleys, which helps set them apart from their local competitors."
