Estate & Inheritance Tax Planning
OUR SPECIALIST Private Client SERVICES
You’re likely to want to pass as much of your wealth to your loved ones as possible. And you’ll want to provide for your dependents. From simple wishes to complex tax structuring, we can help you ensure that the people you love will benefit most.
We can help answer your inheritance tax questions and guide you through the factors that may affect the actual amount of inheritance tax your estate will have to pay, like your domicile, marital history, location of your assets and composition of your estate. By structuring your estate tax-efficiently, HMRC’s claim on your estate could be minimised so your loved ones receive more of your wealth.
Once you’ve filled in some basic details, we’ll be in touch to set up a meeting with you to discuss how to protect your estate.
