Trusts & divorce
Where a trust becomes (or may become) embroiled in a divorce, delicate issues can arise both for the trustees and for the divorcing spouses. This is all the more true when the trust in question is not governed by English law. Trustees are likely to need specialist advice at the earliest stage, and divorcing spouses will require guidance on how trust assets should be treated. Taxation, structuring and enforcement issues may also have to be addressed. For more information, please see our trusts and divorce brochure which gives more detail on these complex areas of the law, in which we have developed a particular expertise.
