Estate planning is about ensuring your assets are passed on according to your wishes, both during your lifetime and after your death, in the most efficient and effective way possible.
A key element of estate planning is managing inheritance tax (IHT). Starting early and putting a well-thought-out plan in place can significantly reduce the impact of IHT on your estate. However, estate planning goes beyond just tax considerations.
It also ensures you have the financial resources to support your lifestyle and cope with any unexpected events. With a clear plan, you can make confident financial decisions such as gifting money during your lifetime while enjoying the satisfaction of seeing the positive impact on loved ones and causes important to you.
