Inheritance tax planning

Inheritance planning for high-net-worth individuals often involves complex considerations.

John Lamb Hill Oldridge advises on the structure and placement of life insurance to ensure funds are available to meet inheritance tax liabilities, helping to preserve estate value and support intended succession arrangements.

Where assets are retained until death, insurance can be arranged to meet the resulting tax charge. When structured appropriately and written into trust, life insurance can provide liquidity at the right time without increasing the value of the estate.

Advice focuses on the placement and structuring of insurance solutions, aligned with wider estate, tax and succession planning and delivered in coordination with clients’ other professional advisers.
