First and foremost, inheritance planning helps to minimize your Inheritance Tax liabilities and can reduce the amount of money you might have to give the chancellor in the event of your death. Everyone is currently entitled to an allowance of £325,000 (known as the nil rate band) before they incur inheritance tax. This figure increases to £350,000 on 2010. If your estate is worth more than this when you die, you could be forced to pay 40% tax on any value over this figure. These figures change if you are married, however, this can often be a complicated area for people to fully understand. We offer financial and inheritance planning advice and structuring. This can be a very complex area, however, our advisers have dealt with estates worth just over the nil band threshold right up to estates worth over £20,000,000.
