Estate & inheritance tax planning
Early planning is crucial when making arrangements for the future of your estate upon your death. Such forethought may enable you to take full advantage of the tax opportunities available and thus maximise the amount that is passed to your beneficiaries.
We provide a discreet estate planning service that includes:
- Help with drawing up and reviewing your Will
- Making full use of exemptions and lower tax rates on lifetime transfers
- Optimising lifetime transfers between spouses
- Transferring agricultural or business property
- Transferring assets into trust
- Arranging adequate life assurance to cover potential inheritance tax liabilities
Trusts & executorships
Trusts are relatively easy and very tax efficient way to set aside assets for future beneficiaries outside of the inheritance tax net. They can also be useful for:
- Providing funds for your children's education, maintenance, etc.
- Restricting access to property by future beneficiaries
- Providing for people who are mentally or otherwise incapacitated
We can advise on the most suitable type of trust for your purposes, set up trusts, and provide a full range of accounting services for trusts.
Probate
At a time of bereavement, we can advise you what to do when somebody dies, whether or not they left a Will. We will deal sympathetically with the administration of the estate and relieve you of the worry and responsibility of:
- Obtaining probate valuations
- Preparing HMRC accounts
- Applying for probate
- Settling the debts of the deceased
- Paying legacies/ transferring property
- Preparing estate accounts
Retirement planning
Planning for your eventual retirement can easily be overlooked, especially if you are concerned with the day to day running of a business. Yet with careful and timely planning you will be able to make the most of the options available.
We can assist with the following:
- Devising an exit strategy
- Tax-efficient disposals
- Management buy-outs
- Pension provision
Self assessment
Many taxpayers struggle to understand the complex tax returns and complete them correctly. Furthermore, ongoing changes to tax legislation mean that taxpayers risk incurring more penalties through failing to complete their returns on time or correctly.
We aim to ease the stress often caused by self assessment and help you avoid costly mistakes, by offering a comprehensive self assessment service.
We can relieve you of the self assessment burden and save you time, worry, and money by handling this process for you. We will do all the necessary computations, complete your return, and even offer advice on how you can minimise your tax liability.
We can deal directly with the HM Revenue & Customs on your behalf and, should you be selected for a self assessment enquiry, act for you at any meetings.
