Looking to reduce Inheritance Tax

What would happen if…

You died without having plans in place

The prospect of having a significant chunk of your estate lost to the tax man is something you’d like to avoid. We years of experience helping families smoothly transfer wealth from one generation to the next.

Although there are plenty of things you can do in your lifetime to manage the problem and even reduce it entirely, Inheritance Tax planning can be a complicated subject. While the decisions are sometimes financial, they are often about your values and beliefs around money.

You could see your family benefit from gifting

It can be rewarding to see your loved ones enjoying the assets you’ve given them. Therefore, gifting some of your money while you’re still alive makes perfect sense.

We understands every family is different and there is no one plan that suits everyone. Our goal is to help you create a roadmap for your family that will provide you with financial security and the comfort that you are doing everything possible to help your loved ones.

You distributed your wealth by using trusts

While not the only tool available, trusts can be incredibly useful role in intergenerational planning. They can reflect your wishes, provide you with ongoing control and sometimes ensure assets are kept in the family over generations and away from Inheritance Tax.

There are several types of trust and they all have limitations. Trusts can be complicated but we can guide you through the options and make sure the strategies match your needs.

Together, we’ll reach your goals

Without proactive steps and careful planning, there’s a risk that a significant portion of your assets might end up in the hands of the taxman rather than your loved ones.

After assessing your liability, the first thing Apogee does is get to know you and the aspirations you have for yourself and your family. There is inevitably a balancing act between your needs and the desire to pass on as much of your wealth in a timely and tax efficient way. Starting to plan early can help achieve better outcomes, but the age and life stage of potential beneficiaries might mean passing them significant assets too early could be undesirable.
