Fiduciary

In our fiduciary division the focus is on estate planning, solution driven tax advice, drafting of wills, the administration of estates and the provision of industry leading online and face-to-face trust administration services via Lighthouse Trustees. We provide a full range of practical planning and administration services for individuals and families that are looking to preserve their wealth and minimise tax implications.

We also clarify the best practices for charitable giving, care of minors, the elderly and the incapacitated.

The trust administration process in this department offers clients secure access to their trust documents through a web-based platform.

This allows clients who desire so, to be involved in the daily administration of their estate.  Clients are also able to take advantage of our advanced electronic signature platform for the signing of resolutions and tax returns.
