Supporting You Wherever We Can

Unless you leave your estate to someone who is an “exempt beneficiary” (usually a spouse, civil partner or charity) Inheritance tax (IHT) at 40% will be applied to your estate once it exceeds a legally set threshold. The amount of your estate you can leave without paying Inheritance Tax will depend on a number of factors and our specialist lawyers can advise you how to minimise the Inheritance Tax payable depending on your own circumstances.

Planning your estate ahead of time is a wise move for everyone even if you don’t think that there will be Inheritance Tax to pay when you die
