Estate and inheritance
tax planning

Fundamentally, Estate and Inheritance Tax planning is all about making sure the right amount of money goes into the right hands at the right time. Your Estate is made up of everything you own, so it’s important to ensure that everything you have worked so hard to obtain, benefits the people you choose.

How can we help you with Estate planning?

Out of all of the planning areas, Estate planning is arguably the most complex. Receiving the right advice for your situation is imperative, it must balance you and your family’s current and future needs to be truly effective.

Writing a Will is rarely enough, this is just the start…

We are here to help you navigate your way through these complex rules, requirements and regulations as well as identifying your available allowances.

We can advise you on:

  • Valuing your Estate for Inheritance Tax purposes
  • Inheritance Tax mitigation
  • Intergenerational planning
  • Gifting and the allowances available to you
  • Potentially Exempt Transfers (PET’s)
  • Chargeable Lifetime Transfers (CLT’s)
  • Whole of Life insurance policies
  • The use of Trusts

The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation, can change at any time. The value of any tax relief depends on individual circumstances.

Will writing and Lasting Powers of Attorney involve the referral to a service that is separate and distinct to those offered by St. James’s Place and along with Trusts are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
