WHY IT MATTERS?

Inheritance Tax (IHT) can have a significant impact on family wealth. Many estates are reduced more than expected simply because planning was left too late.

Unlike market fluctuations, IHT is largely shaped by structure and timing. The decisions made during your lifetime can materially affect what passes to the next generation.

From April 2027, proposed changes mean that certain pension arrangements may be included within the taxable estate. This could alter how pension wealth is treated for inheritance purposes and may create additional tax exposure in some cases.

For example, on a £1 million pension, combined tax effects could significantly reduce the amount ultimately received by beneficiaries, depending on individual circumstances.

Understanding how these rules interact is essential. The purpose of this series is to explain the landscape clearly, highlight common misunderstandings, and explore practical considerations.

IHT is often one of the most significant financial issues families face, and clarity is the first step toward better decisions.

IHT is the one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

Doing nothing, or relying on generalists, costs families fortunes.

The right plan, done properly, can save your children hundreds of thousands.
