Your Estate and Will

Inheritance tax is a concern for more and more families. Effective estate planning is vital to ensure that your assets will go to your chosen beneficiaries.

When making your estate plan consider the following factors:

Who do you want to benefit from your wealth?
This may include your spouse or partner, children, grandchildren, and any charities you may wish to include

Should assets be placed into a trust restricting access to income and/or capital?

How will the business be passed on?
If you pass your business on to your children, should you consider multiple ownership?

Making the most of gift

It could be said that the art of inheritance tax planning is to give away as much as possible during your lifetime, while still ensuring that you have enough left for a comfortable lifestyle in retirement. We can help you create a tax-efficient gifts strategy to achieve your personal goals and meet your capital or income requirements.
