Most people never need more than a guide like this one. If the situation behind it has stopped being simple — a trust, inheritance tax, foreign assets, a business, a dispute in view — Signum, Valoren’s own case-work desk, can do the groundwork, and we say so plainly: Valoren is not a law firm and is not regulated. It starts with a free intake, and if you do not need us, we will tell you. Prefer an independent adviser? STEP and the Chartered Institute of Taxation both keep public member directories — neither pays Valoren a referral fee.
