At the age of 74, and not long after his first tenure as Prime Minister, Churchill began to more seriously look into the future care and financial comforts of his family. To this end he employed his barrister Leslie Graham-Dixon and his solicitor Anthony Moir to advise him on the establishment of a trust most suitable to create an income for his descendants, free from the burden of taxation.
