pdfInheritance Tax – An Introductory Guide

For many of our clients one of their main financial priorities is to be able to pass on accumulated wealth to the next generation. However with the rise in property prices and investment values, more families find themselves with estates which are potentially liable to Inheritance Tax.

Inheritance Tax is usually paid on an estate when somebody dies, but could be paid on trusts or gifts made during someone's lifetime. Our Financial Advisers will review your personal assets – these include your home, investments, savings and other possessions to check if you will be liable to pay inheritance tax, we can then offer you a tax efficient solution through effective estate planning.

It is never too late to start protecting your estate and set up an estate plan. We check you have the basic estate planning documents set up. We then review your assets and consider the most effective way to leave your estate to your beneficiaries.

Your estate plan could utilise a range of financial products and services including the following:

  • Trusts
  • Gift Allowances
  • Whole of life Insurance
  • Investments offering Business Property Relief
  • Pensions

I have been lucky to have the financial advice of Allan Ross for fourteen years. His well-balanced advice has been specific for my circumstances and has proved to be very successful. Together with Allan over many years I have achieved a very favourable position on Inheritance Tax; he has shown significant expertise and experience in this area. We have worked very well together.”
