Are you unsure about how Inheritance Tax could impact your loved ones after you’re gone?

Inheritance Tax is charged on the value of someone's estate after they pass away. If your estate is below the £325,000 threshold, there’s typically no tax to pay. However, if estate values or certain gifts exceed this amount, tax can become a significant burden.

Ignoring the nuances of Inheritance Tax could lead to unexpected debts for your beneficiaries, complicating their financial future.

At Fairhurst, we support our clients by:

- Clarifying Inheritance Tax thresholds and reliefs
- Guiding you on how to structure your estate to minimise tax liabilities
- Assisting with reports to HM Revenue and Customs
- Helping you navigate gift allowances and the 7-year rule

Take proactive steps today to protect your estate. Contact us for personalised guidance on Inheritance Tax planning.
