Inheritance Tax Planning

Why Choose Inheritance Tax Planning?

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in future. Advice should be tailored to your specific needs and objectives.

Despite less than 4% of estates in the UK typically being subject to inheritance tax, HMRC still gathered more than £6.8 billion in revenue in 2023. Without inheritance tax planning in place, your loved one’s legacy could subject to major tax liabilities, meaning that they end up with much less financial support than you intended.  In adequate inheritance tax planning can also lead to errors or oversights that add to your liabilities, in addition to complications and delays during the probate process. You can avoid all the associated distress and financial strain these holdups can cause by talking to a WealthMax advisor, who can help you mitigate these risks and preserve your family’s inheritance.

Inheritance Tax Planning is a valuable step to help ensure your hard-earned wealth is passed on to your loved ones. With the right strategy, you can reduce tax exposure and protect your estate for future generations.
