Inheritance tax planning trusts – What are they?

Inheritance tax planning trusts are put in place as a plan to minimise your IHT bill. Some of these may include things such as:
Making gifts from your estate during your lifetime, using trusts to hold assets, transferring assets to your spouse or civil partner, investing in IHT efficient investments or simply preparing a will. The rate of tax due on assets upon death is 40% and we will work with our clients to reduce this, where possible. In most cases inheritance tax cannot be avoided which is why things such as life cover should be in place to help your beneficiaries pay the tax. We are here to provide you with the very best advice on your current position starting with finding out about your current assets and what you would like to do with them. We will make certain that you have a clear view on what a potential inheritance tax liability will be and engage with you to put in place the very best inheritance tax planning trusts suited to your particular circumstances. We will support and advice you through the whole process, this can be done over a short period, or through a longer-term plan.
