Inheritance Tax can be a complicated area of law, and here at Brown & Brown Partners LLP, we understand that you will want to leave the maximum amount possible to your loved ones when you pass away.

The law requires you to pay inheritance tax on your property and belongings, known as your estate when you pass away. It is always necessary for this to be paid before probate is granted.

If you wish to maximise the inheritance of your loved ones, inheritance tax planning is essential, as tax is charged at 40% on estates worth more than £325,000, and so it can significantly affect the amount that your family and loved ones inherit from you.

With years of experience in helping people like you with inheritance tax planning, Brown & Brown Partners LLP can assist you in making your assets as tax efficient as possible. To discuss how we can help you, contact our team today.
