Inheritance Tax & Succession Planning
While inheritance tax is important to consider, especially with the IHT receipts for HMRC increasing each year it is often not the most important consideration for people when considering long term planning.
Our inheritance tax & succession planning advisors are based across Scotland in our offices in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The larger concerns are having sufficient savings for a comfortable and happy retirement, long term care, providing for the next generation and protecting assets.
Inheritance tax planning can often be considered much earlier than many realise and to start during your working life can ensure you are able to fully utilise the many reliefs and planning available. This can also mean you are able to help the next generation when they need it most while making sure you are not leaving yourself short in the future.
Life is constantly changing and there is always something new. This could be a house move, a promotion at work, a new baby, or less welcome like a relationship problem, the diagnosis of an illness or the death of a loved one.
These are times when is it very important to put in place the right arrangements to provide for yourself and the people you care about when the unexpected happens.
