Course description

IHT is perhaps the most classic ‘stealth tax’, where the IHT ‘tax take’ is increasing by a third over 5 years. Naturally clients are concerned about the tax payable on their deaths. There are opportunities for reviewing estate planning, for individuals and couples, which can help mitigate the effects of the freezing of the nil-rate band and residence nil-rate band.


Join private client expert Julie Bell in this live and interactive session as explores when to use the NRB and Residence NRB (‘RNRB’) on the death of a first spouse, the use of trusts to maximise RNRB with ‘unmarried’ and second families, situations in which a deed of variation is advantageous (or in some cases, problematic), and the options for lifetime planning.
