Having a flexible will and tailored trust solutions is essential for effective inheritance tax planning. While simplicity in will drafting is often desirable, it can overlook opportunities for inheritance tax mitigation and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Flexible wills, complemented by a letter of wishes, allow executors to adjust strategies posthumously in response to new tax laws or personal situations. Trust options, like Discretionary Trusts and Immediate Post-Death Interest (IPDI) Trusts, can optimise your use of reliefs and provide flexibility in distributing assets. These trusts can claim spouse exemptions while allowing for post-death planning, potentially reducing inheritance tax if the surviving spouse lives for another seven years. Let Duncan Lewis Solicitors guide you in creating a will that adapts to changing circumstances and secures your legacy. Please visit our website or call us directly on 033 3772 0409
