Inheritance Tax & Estate planning

estate planning services

While few of us like to think about dying, equally few of us would want to live with the thought that we have failed to make adequate provision for our family and friends in years to come. 

It is necessary to plan well in advance to allow for the legislation that governs how your estate will be passed to you chosen beneficiaries. The uncertainty of life and death, means that these provisions should be made sooner rather than later. Not forgetting, that by making these arrangements sooner, you will have more opportunity to take advantage of tax efficiencies and increase the wealth that reaches your beneficiaries. 

After years of hard work to accumulate your wealth, it’s unlikely you will want to see the taxmen benefitting at the expense of your loved ones.

It is equally important when considering the future of your estate, that you make adequate provision for yourself (and your spouse) in your later years. Reaching this balance requires careful planning and foresight, as well as an extensive knowledge of the tax system.
