Inheritance Tax Planning

It is often said that inheritance tax is voluntary and only payable by people who have not planned ahead to reduce the amount that their family will have to pay. Everything over a certain limit set by the government each year is liable for a 40% tax charge, to be paid up front before the estate can bechildren divided.

Trusts

The term “Trust” refers to the legal relationships created (in lifetime or on death) by a person (known as the Settlor) when assets have been placed under the control of a trustee for the benefit of a beneficiary.
