If there is one valuable lesson that has come to light during the turbulent months of late it is that the wellbeing and security of our family is one of the most important things in the world.

Evidently health has been a key concern for us all, but for many of our clients their focus has turned to the future financial security of their loved ones. Will their family’s inheritance be penalised by hefty taxes? Could their intended wealth be lost through divorce of care fees? Is their existing strategy enough to guarantee their intentions?

COVID-19 has meant that many of us now feel uncertain about the future, and many of us are concerned about the financial impact it could have on our family’s future security. Whilst life may feel rather precarious at the moment, it is in fact the perfect time to reflect upon what you have in place and look to implement a suitable strategy to ensure that your wishes are brought to life.

When we talk about inheritance and legacies, we often hear a huge number of concerns about the levels of complexity involved in creating a suitable and sustainable estate plan. To help bring some clarity, clear-cut answers and confidence to this topic, we have teamed up with local solicitors, Buckles, to bring you an insightful and informative webinar.

DURING THIS FREE WEBINAR YOU WILL LEARN

How to avoid hefty Inheritance Tax charges

What measures to take to prevent your assets disappearing if a divorce or remarriage in the family were to happen.

How to ensure that your house and capital are protected against third-party risks.

The importance of Powers of Attorney.

Why a Will may not be enough to safeguard your wishes.

Historically, Inheritance Tax has been the preserve of the super-wealthy, but this is changing. The ever-evolving world of tax, especially Inheritance Tax, is not just targeting the very rich; in fact, it is beginning to hit the average family too. Last year alone, we saw HMRC collect £5.1 billion in Inheritance Tax - a rise of 9% from 2016 . And with the conventional Nil-Rate Band is fixed at £325,000 until April 2021, this trend looks set to continue.

Any planning around tax can be confusing, time-consuming and controversial! In the UK, we all have to pay tax in some form, so it is important that any plans you make are lawful, accurate and fair. Achieving the balance between what you want to do and what you have to do is a little bit of a minefield, so Charlie will be talking about the dangers of ignoring Inheritance Tax and will demonstrate what your obligations are, and what options are available to you.
