Free webinar: Unmarried partners, probate and trusts: Lessons from a recent case

Kings Court Trust invites you to a free, informative webinar where they’ll do a deep-dive into a real-life scenario that many families face: long-term partners, no marriage, and delayed probate.

Join Charlotte Toogood, legal services director, and Nigel Merchant, technical manager, as they explore the implications of life interest trusts, nil rate band usage, and the absence of spousal exemptions. Using this interesting case study, they’ll uncover the risks of ‘doing nothing’ and the steps that can still be taken to protect the estate and beneficiaries.

What will be covered:

  • Understanding the impact of unmarried status on probate and IHT.
  • Learning how life interest trusts work and what protection they offer.
  • Discovering why delays in probate can complicate estate administration.
  • Exploring four potential outcomes for this case.
  • Plus more.

If you can’t join on the day, please still register as all registrants will receive a link to the recording after it has taken place.
