Inheritance Tax & estate planning

Protecting your wealth by planning is important. If your estate exceeds the Nil Rate Band (£325,000) 40% of your estate could be lost to Inheritance Tax (IHT) when you die.

Fortunately, there are many ways to minimise your exposure to Inheritance Tax. Making sure you structure your affairs tax efficiently with a view to meeting your long-term plans is essential.

Planning should be as straightforward as possible as tax legislation and your personal circumstances will change over time.

We advise on many ways to reduce Inheritance Tax such as Agricultural and Business Property Relief and making gifts.
