Wills & Estate Planning

What is inheritance tax planning?

At its simplest, inheritance tax is the tax payable on your estate when you die if the value of your estate exceeds a certain amount.  Currently, inheritance tax is charged at 40% on the value of estates above the threshold (nil-rate band) of £300,000, subject to any exemptions and reliefs that may be available.  Your estate is basically the net value of everything you own - all your assets minus any debts.

Why do you need to plan?

Doing nothing is not an option. Without proper tax planning, many people can end up leaving a substantial tax liability on their death, considerably reducing the value of the estate passing to chosen beneficiaries.
