When it comes to inheritance tax planning, it’s essential to ensure your Will is appropriately structured. Our team of tax planning experts can speak through your options. The good news is that several exemptions and allowances can be applied to limit damage to your legacy.
With many rules and regulations to consider, inheritance tax can be complicated. But don’t worry, we’re experienced in dealing with various circumstances, so we’re best placed to advise you.
A Will is a document which allows you to decide how your money and property will be distributed after your death and who should deal with the administration of your estate. To be valid, it must be signed by you and witnessed by two people. The witnesses must see you sign the Will and then sign it themselves.
If you die without a valid Will the law will determine how your money and property is distributed. This will depend on many factors such as whether or not you are married or have children, and the value of your estate, but the result might not be what you want or expect.
The best place to start is here at Taylor Emmet. In our Wills and Probate department we deal with all aspects of Wills, estate planning and administration, including tax advice and trusts. Some of our solicitors are also members of STEP; the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, which is the leading worldwide professional body in this field.
The process is usually quite straightforward and should only take a couple of weeks to complete. At an initial meeting with one of our specialists we will ask what you want to happen on your death and give advice on the best way to achieve what you want.
A Power of Attorney is the document you sign to appoint an attorney. There are many different types of Power of Attorney. The Power may be limited to certain property or certain actions, or it may give your attorney general authority to act on your behalf.
When most people think about Powers of Attorney they mean “Enduring Power of Attorney” (EPA) or “Lasting Power of Attorney” (LPA). These are special types of Power of Attorney which allow you to choose an attorney to make decisions for you if you cannot make them yourself due to mental incapacity.
If you lose the ability to make decisions for yourself and have not completed either an EPA or an LPA the Court of Protection may appoint a Deputy for you to make those decisions – usually a close relative. A Deputy is like an attorney but can only do what the Court permits.
Our wills and probate team helps you plan for the future, so you can do the best by your family should the worst happen. We have phone appointments available for those who need them.
