Enable | Trustee Service

Our trustee service can help you and your family prepare financially for the future.

What is a Trust?

Trusts are legal arrangements where a trustee, such as Enable Trustee Service Limited, is appointed to look after assets on behalf of a beneficiary, such as your child, grandchild or sibling.

A trust can be set up both during your lifetime and after your passing, for example, via a will.

Benefits of setting up a trust

Enable Trustee Service has over 30 years’ experience of helping families prepare for the financial future of their loved one(s). We also have in-depth knowledge of the challenges faced by families and people with a learning disability. Our service:

brings peace of mind that the inheritance you leave your loved one will be looked after in their best interests
can protect your loved one’s entitlements to community care and/or means tested benefits
removes the burden of complex tax and financial matters from family and friends

What assets can be held in a trust?

There is no upper or lower limit to the value of the assets that can be help in a trust. It’s common for trusts to receive a gift(s) from an individual during their lifetime and/ or settlement from an individual’s estate. For example, this could be from the proceeds from a house sale, investments or bank accounts.

Ingrid said " My daughter Miriam has had a trust with Enable Trustee Service Limited for many years now. Having a trust has helped Miriam create a beautiful home surrounded by all her favourite things. Miriam feels happy knowing she has a trust that she can use when needed. Having a professional trustee involved, like Enable Trustee Service, brings our family enormous comfort and assurance that Miriam's inheritance will be managed with care, expertise and in her best interests. “

Compensation Awards

We look after personal injury awards for people who have received an award due to suffering an accident or have been subject to a criminal injury.

Guardianship, Power of Attorney and Appointeeship

Enable Trustee Service Limited does not provide legal advice on guardianship or powers of attorney. However, we regularly work alongside guardians, attorneys and family members to support beneficiaries and ensure that trust arrangements operate effectively.

If you require advice on guardianship, powers of attorney or other Adults with Incapacity matters, we can signpost you to appropriately qualified legal professionals and support organisations for independent advice.

Allette said " As the parent of a child with complex needs all you want to do is love, protect and provide the best ongoing care for them, but as a caregiver that means also navigating a complicated, frustrating and deeply stressful landscape of legal and financial hurdles.

Enable was a breath of fresh air in understanding families like ourselves. They talked us through our options and explained everything with unwavering patience and empathy and at our speed. A Discretionary trust was set up to secure Genevieve’s future financially, allowing ourselves, family and friends to contribute whilst staying within the legal constraints of the Benefits system vital to her daily needs.

Knowing the Trust is there for those added expenses, and specifically to improve her quality of life, whilst requiring limited admin by ourselves, is immeasurable. It is without question one of the best things we have done for our family over the last 13 years. I cannot fault the team and nothing has ever been too much trouble. Clear communication, unbiased guidance, prompt and in layman’s terms. We simply cannot recommend Enable’s Trustee Service enough. "
