Practical Solutions for Problem Trusts
Book your place Ask a question
Trusts can present layers of legal complexity and challenging tax issues. When difficulties arise, should a trust be wound up or can it be reshaped to achieve worthwhile tax savings and long-term family benefit?
We invite you to join Anthony Nixon and colleagues for a focused, practical seminar exploring experience-driven solutions to some of the most challenging issues encountered in trust work.
Drawing on Anthony’s 40 years of specialist experience in trusts and their taxation, the session will use real-world case studies to illustrate effective strategies for navigating “awkward” trusts and achieving optimal outcomes for families and beneficiaries.
The seminar takes place in Southampton on Wednesday 22 April 2026.
Who Should Attend?
This seminar is designed for professionals who:
- Advise on trusts and estate planning
- Administer trusts
- Act as professional trustees
- Work alongside trusts in a tax, accounting or advisory capacity
- Want to deepen their understanding of pragmatic, commercially grounded approaches to complex trust taxation issues
If you encounter trusts that have become inefficient, outdated or tax-heavy, this session will provide practical insight.
What We Will Cover
Using case studies and practical examples, we will explore:
- When it may be appropriate to wind up a trust
- When restructuring may produce better tax or family outcomes
- Managing “problem” or “awkward” trusts
- Practical tax considerations in trust administration
- Identifying opportunities for legitimate tax efficiencies
- Balancing technical correctness with commercial reality
