Inheritance Tax planning

Inheritance Tax planning starts with a professionally drafted will

Good Inheritance tax planning should always start with a thorough review of your will – by getting the basic structure in place your plans will have the greatest chance of success.

If your estate exceeds £325,000 your estate may be subject to Inheritance Tax. Subject to certain conditions, married couples and civil partners may be able to make use of a transferrable allowance and qualify for an exemption of up to £650,000. Above these levels tax is charged at 40% and will significantly reduce the amount you can pass on to your beneficiaries.

We will look at the composition of your estate and come up with practical proposals to reduce your tax exposure.

We will:

• Consider the available allowances
• Ensure you stand the best chance of qualifying for any exemptions and reliefs
• Produce tax efficient Wills
• Consider opportunities for lifetime gifting to either individuals or trusts
• Discuss deeds of variation and any domicile issues
