Trust Registration Service - do the new rules apply to you?
The Trust Regulation Service has been extended to cover a number of different types of trust that will now need to register even though no tax may be due in relation to them, the most common of which are Bare Trusts, Life Interest trusts and Pilot Trusts - so it may be worth checking if this applies to you.

It may surprise you that 54% of the British adult population do not have a Will, and 5.4 million people have no idea how to make one. Research also states that nearly 60% of parents don't have a valid will, meaning they either don't have one at all, or the will they do have is out of date.
Everyone should have a Will. It's simple to do and gives you the peace of mind that, when the time comes, you are leaving your affairs in order.
This video highlights the top 10 reasons why you should make a Will. - click here

Are you a business owner who has queries relating to your business?
Covid-19 has forced many businesses to adapt their ways of working and re-think how they operate to ensure they survive during Covid-19. Laceys' Corporate Commercial and Employment teams are here to help with pragmatic and commercially-minded advice to ensure your business is prepared now and ready for any further disruptions in the future.
Are you a commercial or residential landlord?
Covid-19 has been a challenging and uncertain time for landlords and tenants. If you have any issue or concern regarding a property, Laceys provides specialist services in landlord and tenant law.
Are you wanting to pass on some wealth?
Laceys have broad experience when it comes to lifetime planning, and our Private Client team can advise you on the many options available to make sure you make the right decisions for you and future generations.
Thinking of buying or selling a home?
Moving home is often the most expensive purchase of our lives, so make sure you get the right team behind you. Our approachable Conveyancing team will guide you through this daunting and stressful time, making the process as smooth as possible.
Does your Will include details on your "˜digital assets'?
Have you found yourself recently using your social media more regularly, posting moments of your life to stay connected with the outside world?
These "˜digital assets' - comments made and photos shared on Facebook, "˜tweets' on Twitter, blogs or articles published on websites, videos placed on YouTube, music libraries, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies - commonly have significant sentimental value attached to them, but an increasing number of them may have an inherent financial value which the owner may want to pass onto loved ones following their death. However, in the case of digital assets, we may not necessarily own all that we think we own, meaning they may not automatically get passed to our loved ones when we die.
If you are interested in any further advice regarding digital assets in your Will you can contact any of Private Client team who would be happy to help.
Are you going through a relationship breakdown?
Unfortunately, Covid-19 has placed additional stress on many couples, financially and emotionally, causing relationships to breakdown. The decision to separate can be very stressful and raises questions that generate fear and insecurity.
Where will I live? When will I see my children? How can I afford to pay my bills? Will I be left with nothing? Will my children be turned against me? How will I cope on my own?
At Laceys we are proud to offer our clients a full range of services, from mediation through to other dispute resolution options, allowing them to decide how this emotionally challenging time in their life is handled.
When things go wrong"¦.
As we have all only been made too aware of this year, life can be unpredictable and throw us challenges we need to overcome. Whether you have an inheritance dispute over a Will, a dispute with a neighbour over a boundary, or are trying to recover rent from a tenant, our Dispute Resolution team can help.
If you would like any specific advice relating to Covid-19, Laceys has a dedicated Covid-19 hub on our website covering all areas.
