What is inheritance tax planning?
Inheritance Tax (IHT) may apply where the value of an estate exceeds the available tax-free allowances.
Careful planning during your lifetime can help you understand potential tax liabilities and consider ways of protecting assets for the people and causes that matter most to you.
Our team can advise on:
- Available inheritance tax reliefs and exemptions
- Lifetime planning
- Trust structures
- Passing assets to future generations
- Protecting vulnerable beneficiaries
- Business and family asset planning
How trusts can help with estate planning
Trusts can be a valuable tool when planning how assets should be managed and passed on.
Depending on your circumstances and objectives, a trust may help you:

- Provide for vulnerable beneficiaries
- Manage inheritance for younger beneficiaries
- Support family members in specific circumstances
- Protect assets where beneficiaries have financial difficulties
Whether a trust is created during your lifetime or through your Will, our team can explain the options available and help you understand the implications.
