Our Landed Estates Services
Legal advice that is grounded in an understanding of landed estates
Many landed estate owners face difficult tax and succession issues. We can help you minimise the payment of capital taxes and advise on long-term strategic estate planning to ensure the transfer of assets to the next generation.
The modern landed estate now often involves far more than simply owning rural property. It may be run as a highly commercial business with activities ranging from farming, property letting and development, sporting and commercial interests to agricultural holdings, tenancy structures, farm contract and share farming agreements, and diversification. We have the skills to advise on all these matters.
Landed estates often own heritage assets of artistic or historical importance. These may be buildings, works of art or collections of furniture or porcelain. We advise on taxation, ownership and succession issues, and on maintenance funds, to help preserve heritage property for future generations.
