Inheritance Tax and Estate Planning

For all of us, planning how to leave wealth to loved ones is an emotional process. With thresholds at £325,000, many people will get caught in the inheritance tax net. 

Additionally, the introduction of the residence nil rate band (up to an additional £175,000 per person depending on the value of your main residence and other criteria being met) in recent years brought additional planning opportunities and also other considerations for how your wealth is structured. Our specialist team of tax advisors can help you understand if you qualify for the residence nil rate band.

Our estate and taxation specialists can help you to plan in a way that protects your wealth and maximises the value of your assets, to give you peace of mind and allow you to pass on more to those you love.

Our dedicated team can

  • Review your current situation and help you with a strategy to manage your assets
  • Provide guidance on “gifting”, including the use of trusts and lifetime transfers.  We can carry out a cash flow forecasting exercise to ensure before you make any gifts as part of your inheritance tax planning you will still have sufficient funds to live the life you want to
  • Help with understanding the use of reliefs, exemptions and lower tax rates, including recent new reliefs. We can provide you with a full summary of the related changes announced by the UK Chancellor in future Budgets
  • Arrange adequate life assurance to cover potential inheritance tax liabilities. Our advisors are fully independent and utilise a whole-of-market approach so they can recommend the best available contract to meet your individual requirements
