Own Nothing, Control Everything - Protect Everything That Matters
Put your home, savings, and legacy beyond the reach of tax, probate, and unwanted claims with a lawful Private Trust.
Why Establish a Private Trust?
You’ve worked hard to build your estate. Most people never realise how much of it can be lost to probate costs, taxation, or care-home charges.
A Private Trust is your lawful shield — ensuring what’s yours remains under your control and passes privately to those you love.
The Key Benefits of a Private Trust:
1. Asset and Property Protection.
Once vested in a Trust, your property stands apart from your personal estate — shielded from creditors, claims, or unforeseen financial risk.
2. Ongoing Control and Peace of Mind.
Define who benefits, when, and how. Retain meaningful control long after you’ve gone, ensuring your legacy follows your wishes.
3. Avoid Probate Delays and Save Thousands.
Skip months of legal delay and heavy probate costs. Your beneficiaries receive what’s theirs swiftly, privately, and without unnecessary taxation.
4. Complete Privacy.
Unlike a Will, your Trust remains off-record. Your affairs and your family’s details stay confidential — exactly as they should.
5. Plan for Future Care Needs.
If long-term care becomes necessary, the council cannot place a charge or force the sale of property lawfully held in Trust.
Real-World Example | The True Cost of Doing Nothing.
Eight years ago, a gentleman considered a Private Trust, but thought the initial cost was too much.
Two years later, his mother’s £1 million home entered probate. After taxes, £270,000 of the estate was lost.
A Private Trust would have preserved it.
The greatest cost isn’t creating a Trust — it’s not having one when you need it most.
Legal Validation and Authority:
“A Trust for probate avoidance is a lawful, irrevocable, separate legal entity.”
— Harwood v Tracy (118 MA 631)
Courts have confirmed that assets held in a lawful Private Trust remain outside probate jurisdiction and under trustee control.

The way I frame having a Private Family Trust is that, Legally, I now own nothing and I’m happy.
I pondered working with John for a good 4 months after a friend recommended him saying, “I’ve found the guy, The Trust expert, you need look no further.” And, he trusted him implicitly.
I have to agree, I class John as a mate now, having had multiple conversations lasting as is usual with him, hours and all since the completion of his work and any obligation he felt towards me.
To top it off, I see my Trust as a working, practical document, a minefield of information, something I can actually use and recite from should I need to. A joy to read and gain continual insight from. I now know my family and I are fully protected and ready, in law, for any attempted overreach.
The work you do is bang on the money. Cheers A. Munrow
I have known for a long time that this was the right thing to do. How can you work hard all your life to build up some form of equity to pass onto your loved one’s and have most of it taken away by parasites disguised as government officials!
I have personally been looking long and hard for the right company to set up my trust. I didn’t want a trust that was sold to you by a solicitor in the legalese system that ended up being worthless. I wanted a proper Private Expressed Family Trust.
I found The Trust Works and went straight to their website, most of the information I needed was there, I quickly phoned them and had a chat with them, and they confirmed my beliefs in exactly what I wanted. I booked a 1hr Skype call to cover everything I needed to know and made some notes.
I made my mind up straight away and decided to go for the full package a family trust, setting up of my own business and full support throughout the whole process, ensuring everything was watertight. I must say this has been one of the best decisions I have made in a very long time. The support has been tremendous, and no stone has been left unturned. I feel confident with my trust going forward. Thanks to John and his team for their outstanding work. James
I‘ve had a number of goes at these trusts and The Trust Works are undoubtedly head and shoulders above the rest. It is a legal manual you could take to court with you if need be not just a few pages of legal diatribe. P Hicks.
