Inheritance Tax Planning

Inheritance tax planning can be very complicated and usually involves the advice of a solicitor, an accountant and a financial advisor. Once you have sought advice from the first two about mitigating your liabilities then it might be to your advantage to then speak to a financial advisor about having a life insurance policy to pay the tax bill.

Once the likely potential tax bill has been calculated then it is possible to write a whole of life insurance policy which will pay out on death and the intention is that it provides enough money for the beneficiaries to pay the tax bill.

Another simple way of planning for inheritance tax liabilities is to ensure that your investments are held in the optimal fiscal framework for your circumstances. Some investments can eliminate inheritance tax altogether. Along as you take advice when making the investment then you could save your beneficiaries a lot of money.
