Jacob Cork

His work typically includes advising on Wills, Powers of Attorney, lifetime Trusts and other wealth protection structures.

Jacob specialises in:

Advising business owners on their estate planning, whether that will take effect during lifetime or on death; and

Advising families with international elements, including helping to co-ordinate international Wills, and explaining and planning around UK tax as people move between jurisdictions.

Jacob’s extensive experience dealing with foreign jurisdictions make him exceptionally well suited to advising clients with assets abroad, or who have moved to or from the UK.
