Our estate tax planning Services
Our estate tax planning services are built for those who value precision and accountability in managing assets. In our service we deliver is designed to address specific estate-related challenges such as inheritance tax exposure, succession planning, and compliance documentation.
Inheritance Tax Planning
Inheritance Tax (IHT) can significantly reduce the value of an estate if not structured properly. Our consultants assess your current estate, evaluate thresholds, and identify opportunities to manage liabilities through allowances and exemptions provided under UK law.
We analyze ownership structures, marital transfers, and gifting strategies to reduce potential tax burdens. Our inheritance tax planning services apply BPR and APR to help families retain long-term asset value.
We prepare detailed reports outlining projected liabilities, giving clients a clear picture of potential exposure and strategies for reduction.
Trust Formation and Management
Trusts remain one of the most effective methods for estate management and wealth preservation. Our expert consultants assist in establishing, managing, and reviewing trust structures to ensure compliance with UK tax laws and achieve long-term estate goals.
We advise on discretionary, bare, and interest-in-possession trusts depending on your family’s needs. Each option serves different purposes, from income distribution to capital protection.
Our team handles ongoing compliance, including tax returns, valuation submissions, and trustee reporting. This ensures all obligations are met without administrative burden falling on the family.
Succession Planning for Family Businesses
Family-owned enterprises often represent a large portion of estate value. Without structured planning, succession can become legally and financially complex. Our expert estate tax planning services assist business owners in designing succession plans that ensure continuity while managing inheritance implications.
We evaluate company share structures, shareholder agreements, and business property relief eligibility. By aligning ownership transfer strategies with personal estate goals, we help maintain stability for both the business and the family.
Our expert consultants also coordinate with corporate advisors to integrate business succession into wider estate planning strategies.
Lifetime Gifts and Transfers
Strategic gifting during one’s lifetime can significantly reduce inheritance liabilities. We assist in designing gifting schedules that comply with HMRC exemptions such as annual allowances and potentially exempt transfers.
Our expert estate tax planning services provide guidance on asset valuation, timing, and documentation to avoid disputes or challenges later. We also monitor seven-year rules for exemptions and track cumulative gift values for compliance accuracy.
For individuals supporting dependents, our advisors structure gifts in ways that maintain control while securing long-term financial stability for beneficiaries.
Property and Real Estate Tax Planning
Real estate often forms the cornerstone of an estate’s value. From family homes to investment portfolios, property assets require careful planning to prevent unnecessary taxation.
Our expert estate tax planning services include detailed property assessments to determine exposure to Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax, and Inheritance Tax. We help clients organise property ownership under appropriate structures such as joint tenancy, trusts, or corporate entities depending on objectives.
We also provide strategies for UK residents with overseas properties to align international holdings under UK tax regulations while minimising double taxation.
International Estate Structuring
For families with assets spread across borders, estate management becomes significantly more complex. Our international tax consulting services provide solutions for managing global estates, addressing both UK and foreign jurisdiction obligations.
We coordinate with overseas legal and accounting teams to align compliance with double taxation treaties and ensure reporting accuracy. Our expert estate tax planning services include reviewing offshore trusts, foreign property ownership, and repatriation of funds.
This service is particularly valuable for UK residents who own assets abroad or non-residents holding UK properties under complex structures.
Charitable Giving and Legacy Planning
Many individuals wish to include charitable giving as part of their legacy. Our expert consultants assist in structuring donations and bequests that comply with UK charity and tax laws.
Through careful planning, charitable gifts can lower inheritance liabilities while supporting meaningful causes. We calculate potential reliefs, manage paperwork, and coordinate with charity representatives to ensure transparency.
Our expert estate tax planning services make legacy planning both purposeful and financially sound, ensuring your contributions benefit both your chosen charities and your beneficiaries.
