Our Inheritance Tax Services
When it comes to inheritance tax, a proactive approach is key. Our inheritance tax services encompass every aspect of planning and compliance, tailored to your personal situation and financial goals.
1. Inheritance Tax Planning and Strategy Development
Inheritance tax planning involves more than just reducing tax—it’s about structuring your wealth in a way that meets your family’s needs and protects your assets. Our tax consultants work with you to develop a personalised inheritance tax strategy, reviewing your assets, liabilities, and family situation to create a plan that maximises tax efficiency.
2. Asset Distribution and Gifting Strategies
Strategic asset distribution can significantly reduce your inheritance tax liabilities. We advise on when and how to gift assets to family members and trusts to minimise tax exposure. Our team ensures you take full advantage of annual gifting allowances and exemptions, which can add up to substantial savings over time.
3. Trust Planning and Setup
Trusts are an excellent tool for estate planning, allowing you to pass on assets while maintaining control over how they’re used. Our consultants assist in establishing trusts that align with your inheritance goals, from family trusts to discretionary trusts. We’ll help you understand the tax implications and manage the trust setup process, ensuring that your assets are protected.
4. Business Relief and Agricultural Relief
If you own a business or agricultural property, you may qualify for substantial inheritance tax relief. Our team specialises in assessing eligibility for Business Relief and Agricultural Relief, guiding you on how to structure ownership and meet HMRC criteria to reduce or even eliminate inheritance tax on these assets.
5. Estate Planning for High Net-Worth Individuals
For high-net-worth individuals, inheritance tax planning can become complex due to the diversity of assets involved. We offer specialised estate planning for high-net-worth clients, ensuring that your wealth is structured to minimise tax burdens while maintaining flexibility and control. This includes evaluating offshore assets, property, and significant investment portfolios.
6. Insurance Solutions for Inheritance Tax
In some cases, inheritance tax liabilities may be best managed with a life insurance policy. We can assist you in setting up an insurance policy within a trust, designed specifically to cover your inheritance tax liabilities, ensuring your estate doesn’t bear the brunt of unexpected costs.
7. Probate and Estate Administration Support
The probate process can be challenging, particularly when inheritance tax is involved. Our team provides support for probate and estate administration, from filing paperwork to managing tax payments and distributing assets. We ensure that your estate’s administration runs smoothly and in full compliance with UK inheritance laws.
8. Reviewing Wills and Estate Documents
An up-to-date will is essential for effective inheritance planning. Our advisors review your will, advising on any changes necessary to optimise tax efficiency. We also help update your estate documents, ensuring they reflect any new assets, changes in family structure, or tax law updates.
9. Regular Estate Reviews and Adjustments
Inheritance tax laws and personal circumstances can change over time. We offer regular estate reviews to keep your tax strategy up-to-date and aligned with your goals. This ensures that your estate remains compliant and optimised, even as laws and family dynamics evolve.
