How can I minimise the amount of tax paid when I die?

When Arcus advised my late parents, I was very grateful for the patience and sensitivity that was shown. In my own dealings with them, I always feel that I am in safe and competent hands.

Leaving behind a legacy

As you enter later life, your priorities change, and you no longer worry so much about yourself. Instead, your worries are centred around your family and what will happen when you pass away.

Concerns about Inheritance Tax and gifting are all too common, but they needn’t be keeping you up at night. If you start planning now, you’ll put your loved ones in a good financial position in the future.

How we can help

Inheritance Tax, estate planning and trusts can be complex. That’s why you need high-quality financial advice to guide you through it.

We’ll ensure that more of your wealth goes to the people you choose, rather than the tax office. And, if you’d prefer to see loved ones enjoying your wealth during your lifetime, we can discuss your gifting options.

By working with you to gain an understanding of what matters most, we will ensure your family benefits from your legacy in the most tax-efficient way.
