Inheritance and estate planning

If you’ve managed to save a nest-egg over the years the last thing you want is for the tax man to take a share of your legacy when you die.

Yet for single people with more than £325,000 in assets (£500,000 if you include main residence) or couples with over £650,000 (£1m if including main residence), inheritance tax is payable on the excess at 40%.

However, there are ways to minimise an inheritance tax problem through careful planning. For example:

Using annual allowances to gift money
Gifting larger assets
Putting assets in trust
AIM listed investments
Trust planning can offer a highly flexible way to minimise inheritance tax – whether you can gift a large sum outright or you still needs access to income or some capital.
