Passing on your wealth in the most tax-efficient way

Welcome to our Guide to Estate Preservation. Wealth transfer has become an important issue for many families today. Individuals with assets of any size should prepare for their eventual transfer whilst making provision for any tax or legal consequences.

This guide is designed to give you a basic understanding of estate preservation and the issues many people face. We look at various ways individuals could potentially reduce or mitigate an Inheritance Tax liability in order to pass on their wealth in the most tax-efficient way.

Financial services have become more important, as we are expected to take greater responsibility for our own financial well-being. Nobody wants to contemplate their own death, but unless people plan ahead they risk leaving chaos and heartache for loved ones left behind – not to mention a potential Inheritance Tax bill.

We can help you to plan your wealth according to your needs – whether you require assistance with estate preservation planning or recommendations on structures and trusts designed to protect your assets and give your family lasting bene ts in an uncertain world.
