Inheritance tax planning

Inheritance tax planning service


Inheritance tax (IHT) can significantly reduce the value of the estate you leave to your loved ones. However, with effective planning, it’s possible to minimise the amount of tax payable, ensuring that more of your assets are passed on to your family. Our inheritance tax planning services are designed to help you protect your wealth and plan for the future, providing peace of mind and financial security for your beneficiaries.

Our inheritance tax planning services include:


  • Estate review and planning: We conduct a full review of your estate, including assets, liabilities, and potential tax exposure, to devise an effective tax minimisation strategy.
  • Use of exemptions and reliefs: We advise on the use of available inheritance tax exemptions and reliefs, such as the annual gift allowance, spousal exemptions, and agricultural or business property reliefs.
  • Trust and will planning: We help you structure your will and consider the use of trusts to protect your assets and ensure they are passed on in a tax-efficient manner.
  • Lifetime gifts: We offer advice on making gifts during your lifetime to reduce the value of your estate and minimise future IHT liabilities.
  • Business succession planning: For business owners, we provide specialised advice on succession planning to ensure the smooth transition of ownership while minimising tax exposure.
  • Residence nil-rate band (RNRB) planning: We help you take advantage of the RNRB, which offers additional tax relief on passing down your home to direct descendants.
