A recent newspaper article in The Times caught my attention.

A family whose parents had placed their home and investments into trusts to reduce inheritance tax and protect assets from care fees later found themselves facing around £40,000 in unexpected tax and legal costs.

Unfortunately, I regularly meet clients who have been told that putting their house into trust is the answer to care fees.

The reality is usually far more complicated.

A trust can be a valuable planning tool when used appropriately, but no arrangement should be entered into on the basis of marketing claims alone.

Independent legal advice at the outset is almost always cheaper than trying to undo a problem later.

If you are concerned about this matter, contact Julie for advice.

I’m really pleased to share some exciting news.

After 6 years of working as a freelance solicitor, supporting clients across Doncaster and East Lincolnshire, I have now taken the next step and launched my own firm — Julie Kong Legal Services Ltd.

This is something I’ve been working towards for a long time. I’m incredibly proud of what has been built over the years, and grateful to all of the clients who have trusted me with their matters along the way.

While the structure of my business has changed, what hasn’t changed is the service I provide. I will continue to offer the same personal, practical and supportive approach that my clients know me for.

I look forward to continuing to support existing clients and welcoming new ones.

If you or someone you know needs legal advice, please feel free to get in touch.

Thank you again for your continued support.
