Inheritance Tax Planning

Planning Ahead for Inheritance Tax

You’ve worked to build up your wealth. But now it could be a good time to make plans so your loved ones can get the most from the estate you intend to leave behind.

Our Inheritance Tax advice and planning is there to help you get ready ahead of time. Making the right moves early could help you reduce the tax bill on the money and property you provide for the people who mean the most.

Inheritance Tax doesn’t just affect the wealthy. Your estate is made up of more than just your home; from property to savings, to cars and antiques. If all these assets have a combined value of more than £325,000, your estate may be liable to foot the bill.

We’ve been helping people plan their financial futures for over 30 years. Our expert advisors can support you in creating a solution that works for you.

Important information

The Financial Conduct Authority doesn't regulate Trust planning and most forms of Inheritance tax (IHT) planning. Some IHT planning solutions put your money at risk and you may get back less than you invested. IHT thresholds depend on individual circumstances and the law. Tax and IHT rules may change in the future.

Important things to get your head around

Inheritance Tax gifting

Giving parts of your estate to people as gifts before you die can help ease the tax bill on their inheritance. But there are some rules you need to abide by. For instance, gifts to your spouse, gifts under £250, donations to qualifying charities and wedding gifts are usually exempt, but there are exceptions. For assets that aren’t exempt, you may need to give your gifts at least 7 years before you die.
