Key person insurance for a company director
The client was a 42-year-old non-smoker who was resident in the UK and who was the director of a company. The client had bought out his business partner via an equity fund. The company’s board had decided that the individual needed to take out key person insurance to protect the business, as there could be significant consequences if he were to die unexpectedly or be incapacitated by illness.
Arranging high-value life insurance for business customers
The clients are a couple, with the husband in his 60s and the wife in her 40s. They are both UK residents and non-smokers. They were seeking to restructure the business they own jointly. The husband has health issues. The couple had lost their Business Property Relief qualification for a period of two years.
Assisting a couple facing a potential large inheritance tax liability by arranging suitable life insurance
The clients were a couple, both in their 60s, who were British nationals and resident in the UK. The couple’s estate is valued at £10 million. Their individual nil rate bands of £325,000 each could not be used in this case, and they were therefore facing the prospect of inheritance tax of 40% being charged on the full amount once the second client died, which would mean a £4 million IHT bill for their nearest and dearest at that time.
Providing life insurance with a high sum assured for a non-domiciled individual
The client is in his 40s, resident in the UK, but not considered to be domiciled in the UK. His family lives in Kuwait. We were unable to obtain sufficient cover for this client in the UK market because, although he had extensive investment income, he did not have any earnings from employment or self-employment in the UK as his business was still in the start-up phase. For this reason, he was referred to a US-based broker with whom we have worked closely on many occasions.
Providing Protection Against Inheritance Tax Liabilities For A Trustee
The clients are UK trustees of a UK resident trust. The life assured is a UK resident and domicile in his 50s who is the life tenant of a trust. After John Lamb Hill Oldridge placed £90 million of cover in the UK market, the trustees still had another £60 million of potential IHT liability to cover.
