Understanding taxes & reliefs
Tax is one of the biggest concerns when transferring wealth to the next generation. Without careful planning, HM Revenue and Customs could be the main beneficiary of your estate, and many are not aware of the main taxes, the reliefs and solutions available.

Understanding trusts
Placing assets into a trust is a safeguarding option to ensure assets are reserved for a particular beneficiary, such as a family member, rather than being spent. Once a trust is setup, you are no longer their owner – the trustees are – and the assets are not treated as part of your estate, meaning that after a qualifying period, they will not be subject to Inheritance Tax when you die.
Trusts can be used for many purposes. We can advise on whether a trust is the best option for you, or if alternative options may be more suitable for your individual circumstances.
