Lawyers for inheritance tax planning

Expert advice is vital when it comes to tax efficient ways of bequeathing an estate or giving a lifetime gift. Our lawyers for inheritance tax planning ensure that tax implications are not overlooked when drafting wills and that heirs to company assets are not faced with an inheritance tax burden that could threaten the survival of the business.

Our specialist lawyers start by developing an appropriate asset transfer strategy in partnership with the client. They then regularly review the associated inheritance tax arrangements with regard to factors such as changes in the company’s structure or family circumstances. 

To minimise inheritance tax liability, our inheritance tax lawyers ensure that appropriate heirs are appointed, together with timely implementation of anticipated succession and any asset restructuring that may be required. In doing so, they always remain mindful of the testator’s specific situation.
