Rodney Stewart Smith
Call: 1964
Rodney Stewart Smith's practice embraces all aspects, both litigious and non-litigious, of the administration of trusts, including offshore trusts, and estates including inheritance tax and capital gains tax. Over the 40 years of his professional life he has been engaged in advising and litigating in almost every area of this field, including applications for the construction and rectification of trust documents, applications under the Variation of Trusts Act, disputes over the appointment and removal of trustees, applications to the Court for directions, including Beddoe applications, and probate disputes of all kinds. Rodney's practice also extends to most aspects of property disputes, including disputes about title and boundaries, mortgages, easements and restrictive covenants and other rights over land and landlord and tenant dispute (particularly in relation to commercial property) and general conveyancing problems. He also has considerable experience of professional negligence claims against solicitors and others particularly those arising out of tax advice. His special strength is his ability to provide speedy and reliable advice on specific problems which suddenly arise in the course of a transaction.
