Passing on wealth
Succession planning to protect your legacy
Everyone wants to pass on as much as possible to their loved ones or chosen charities. With the right planning, you can minimise
Inheritance Tax (IHT) and help to ensure more of your wealth is passed on.
You can be sure that the right people benefit in the right ways. That your wishes will be granted after you’ve gone.
