What will happen at our meeting?

We will review the value of your total assets and your current Will provision. We will be able to advise you if you have any Inheritance Tax liability and when it will be payable. We will help you put in place any measures that you may want to take to avoid paying Inheritance Tax.

What is the Rate of Inheritance Tax?

The rate of Inheritance Tax is 40%.

When does Inheritance Tax have to be paid?

It is the responsibility of the executors or personal representatives of your estate to settle any inheritance tax bill before distributing your assets to your beneficiaries. You can ask the inland revenue to pay the IHT liability in installments, but this will attract interest, which we can also advise you about.

How can Vincents Inheritance Tax team help?

Our team of Inheritance Tax Planning Solicitors are dedicated to helping you reduce your Inheritance Tax liability. Planning beforehand will make things easier when the time comes for your beneficiaries.

As part of your Inheritance Tax Planning advice, we can talk about making gifts to mitigate any potential IHT liability. We can also advise you about setting up trusts and advise on any potential business, property or agricultural relief your estate may qualify for.

Clear Advice Feels Better

After reviewing one of our Court of Protection clients welfare benefit payments we have secured a back dated payment of £22,000 from Aug 2021, monthly income from £0 – £1,502.  Together with a previously secured ESA payment of £16,901.30 our client has  received a total of £39.216.30 which he did not realise he was entitled to without the support of his Deputy Oliver Banks and his amazing team.
