Private client - Lesley King

Private Client: Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning is a comprehensive and user-friendly examination of the legal and taxation implications arising from estate planning work within the private client department of a solicitors' firm. The guide deals in a practical way with all the areas confronting the practitioner on a day-to-day basis, from tax and financial planning to the administration of trusts. Throughout the text, worked examples illustrate how to calculate the tax position of the client. This new edition has been fully revised to take account of the effect on will drafting of the introduction in 2007 of the transferable nil rate band for spouses and civil partners, the proposed changes to perpetuities and accumulations, and the new forms of lasting powers of attorney.
