Inheritance Tax Planning
If your estate, at the time of your death, is over a certain threshold and your beneficiaries are not exempt, then inheritance tax is at 40% before the beneficiaries receive any part of the estate. Remember that when submitting inheritance tax forms, you must account for any assets or gifts given in the seven years before death. In addition, there are certain scenarios where you may need to go back 14 years. This can put quite a burden on the role of the Executors.
In the UK, the Inland Revenue are the specific government that deals with inheritance tax collections. The probate process assures payment. Probate is not granted unless the correct inheritance tax forms have been submitted and the tax is paid. For help call our estates team on 020 8150 2010.

“I live in Ireland and became an Executor to a Will where Verizon Shares had to be sold in America. Having spoken to various people on how to sell these shares and doing research, I managed to find IWC Probate and Will Services. From start to finish I dealt with a lady called Loren Jarvis by e-mail and telephone. Loren made my life so much easier - dealing with all the form filling and organising a Medallion Stamp. Her approach is very professional and she will keep you informed during the process. I would have no hesitation in recommending this Firm to anybody who needs to sell shares in America and I hope Solicitors in Ireland will learn from my experience and use this Company. Secondly the fee rate is not extortionate like some FIRMS.”
