Inheritance Tax

We advise individuals and families on all aspects of tax planning from lifetime estate planning through to the use of trusts and gifts. We can also advise beneficiaries on how best to manage their inheritance after the death of a loved one.

Inheritance tax (IHT) is a tax on the estate of someone who has passed away, including their home, savings, investments and any other possessions and money. IHT is not paid on the full value of the estate as each individual has a nil rate band currently set at £325,000.00 which is essentially tax free.

Without effective inheritance tax planning, the value of some of your estate could be reduced by up to 40%. Our experienced solicitors utilise their expert legal knowledge to maximise the amount you leave behind.

We will explain in detail the advantages and consequences of any inheritance tax relief and exemptions that you may be entitled to, which will enable you to maximise the value of the estate that you leave behind for those you love.
