Inheritance Tax

Whilst Estate Planning goes far beyond just looking at Inheritance Tax, it is an important factor to consider.

Inheritance Tax Planning broadly falls into two categories.

1. Passing on some of the value of your estate during your lifetime, and
2. Setting up your estate to make best use of the reliefs you anticipate will be in place at the time of your passing.

Both are viable, with the former providing far greater certainty.
