    Inheritance Tax

    Price on application

    Summary

    With the IHT nil-rate band frozen at £325,000 until at least 2030, more families than ever face an Inheritance Tax bill. We offer specialist advice to help minimise your estate's tax liability — from Trust Wills that maximise your allowances to strategic lifetime gifting plans.

    Key Takeaways

    • The IHT nil-rate band is frozen at £325,000 until at least 2030
    • Estates above the threshold pay 40% tax on the excess
    • Married couples can transfer unused allowances — potentially doubling the threshold
    • The Residence Nil-Rate Band can add up to £175,000 per person for qualifying estates
    • Specialist Wills and trust planning can significantly reduce your IHT bill

    "I'm not worth a lot" is a phrase you may have heard, or even spoken yourself. The truth is, none of us know how much our estate will be worth when we pass away. But if the total is more than £325,000 your estate may have to pay Inheritance Tax on the money.

    £325,000 may seem like a generous allowance, but with property prices rising, anyone who owns a property and has other assets could easily have an estate that faces a large tax bill when they pass away.

    That's why at Castle Family Legal we tailor our advice to do the best for you, for your estate and for your loved ones. From specialist Wills that can maximise your tax-free allowance, to ways to reduce your estate's Inheritance Tax bill, we're able to offer an all-round service to everyone.

    Our strategies include using Trust Wills to protect your nil-rate band, making use of the Residence Nil-Rate Band, implementing lifetime gifting strategies, and ensuring married couples transfer their full allowances.
