Our Consultants will ensure that appropriate Trusts are included in your Will if required. This could be to protect inheritance for your children until they are old enough to inherit, to provide security for a disabled beneficiary or to protect part of the value of your home from being used to fund long term care costs. Everyone’s circumstances are different and the most effective options will be discussed with you if necessary

Discretionary Trusts

Inheritance Tax (IHT) is currently charged at 40% of everything in your estate over a value of £312k (2008-2009) for a single person with recent announcements potentially increasing that to £624k for a married couple. With the ever increasing value of property this doesn’t only affect the wealthy. We can help you minimize or even eradicate any potential IHT liability and pass as much of your estate as possible to whom you choose rather than the Inland Revenue.

Inheritance Tax Planning

1st October 2007 saw the introduction of Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) replacing Enduring Power of Attorney. The new LPA has two parts; Property and Affairs, and Welfare. We can advise on the most effective and appropriate planning for appointing Attorneys to act on your behalf; regardless of your situation.

Lasting Power of Attorney
