Specialist wills and probate practice Strategic Asset Protection (SAP) is marking its 10-year anniversary with an expansion into corporate trustee and trust bank account services.
The development represents a major milestone in the Chesterfield firm’s expansion, it said, with the introduction of the new services marking a significant expansion of its offering as part of a long-term strategic plan.
“Reaching our 10‑year milestone is a testament to the trust our clients place in us and the dedication of our team,” said founder and managing director Mike Hiner (pictured).
“Expanding into corporate trustee and trust bank account services is a natural next step in our growth. It allows us to deliver even greater value, continuity, and peace of mind for the individuals and businesses we support. We’re excited for what the next decade will bring.”
SAP was founded by Hiner, an experienced estate‑planning specialist with more than two decades working in financial services, when he recognised what he said was a significant gap in how families were being supported.
After beginning his career as a mortgage and protection adviser, Hiner realised that while people protected their homes with insurance, less attention was given to safeguarding their wider assets, life savings and estates.
SAP was established to fill the gap and now supports clients across London, Wiltshire, the Home Counties, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and elsewhere in the UK.
The introduction of corporate trustee services and trust bank account services will provide SAP clients with a secure, transparent and professionally managed approach to safeguarding their assets, the firm said.
“Our clients increasingly look for integrated, reliable and expertly managed solutions,” explained SAP chairman Nadim Admani.
“By adding corporate trustee and trust bank account services, we’re enhancing the depth and quality of what we can offer. It’s an exciting development that reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional service and building lasting client relationships.”
Director Jonathan Maskew added:
“This expansion reflects the maturity and ambition of the business. Introducing corporate trustee and trust banking services strengthens our ability to support clients with the highest levels of governance, transparency, and professional oversight. It’s a significant step forward and one that positions Strategic Asset Protection for long‑term, sustainable growth.”
By appointing an independent corporate trustee, clients will benefit from enhanced governance, continuity and impartial decision‑making to ensure trust structures are administered in line with legal, regulatory and fiduciary obligations, the firm said.
Trust bank account services will offer dedicated, ring‑fenced accounts that support clear financial oversight, efficient administration, and robust protection of trust assets.
Director Michael Thorpe concluded:
“This milestone demonstrates how far the business has come and how focused we are on the future. Expanding into trustee and trust banking services strengthens our ability to deliver secure, compliant, and forward‑thinking solutions for our clients. It’s a proud moment for the team and a clear signal of our ambition for the next decade.”
