Frequently asked questions

When should I start inheritance tax planning?

As early as possible. Many of the most effective options – such as lifetime gifting – work best over a period of years, so the sooner you plan, the more you can protect.

How much is inheritance tax?

Inheritance tax is charged at 40% on the value of an estate above the available thresholds, though a range of reliefs and exemptions can reduce what you’re due to pay. We’ll assess your specific position and explain your options clearly.

Can I reduce the inheritance tax my family will pay?

In most cases, yes – through planned gifting, reliefs, trusts, and careful structuring. We advise on what’s genuinely appropriate for your circumstances, balancing tax efficiency with your wider wishes.

What is Business Relief?

Business Relief can reduce the inheritance tax due on qualifying business assets. The rules are detailed and subject to change, so it’s worth reviewing your position with a specialist.

Do you work with our solicitor and financial adviser?

Yes. Effective estate planning is a team effort. We’ll coordinate with your team so that your will, your finances, and your tax position all work together.
