An adviser’s insight

Gifts that give back

Graphic of people exchanging gifts

December is often seen as the gifting season. But alongside the usual socks and chocolate gold coins, it might be worth planning a slightly bigger, longer-term present for your loved ones this year.

Inheritance tax (IHT) is notoriously complicated and can hit people with a big bill if it isn’t managed properly. It isn’t reserved for the very wealthy either. Dealing with IHT is a reality that many more families face after a loved one has passed - in what is usually an extremely vulnerable moment.

This is where using your gifting allowances can make a real impact on those around you. It’s a great way to share your wealth with the people you love while limiting their exposure to IHT. It does take a little bit of extra planning though.

Sitting down with an adviser like me can help you figure out where you want your money to go, and when. For instance, it might be more helpful to gift a family member a contribution towards their first home now, rather than leaving them a legacy.

Whatever you decide is best, we’ll find the most tax efficient way to do it.

More about me

I believe that proper financial planning starts with listening to your goals and ambitions, understanding your challenges and fears and working alongside you to create a financial plan that is robust, clear and measurable but also one that can evolve with you. We all pursue 'financial freedom' but most importantly it is financial peace of mind which is most important to most of us.

After 20 years’ experience in financial markets - trading and managing investments - my knowledge and experience in analytical decision making makes a difference to clients by helping them achieve their financial goals by using modern planning techniques and up to date technology to deliver accurate financial forecasts. I work with you to connect the different aspects of your financial life, business, family and personal ambitions. By joining the dots and coordinating the tax, legal and wealth planning enables us to identify and quantify the probability of achieving the goals that are most important to you and the timeframe to achieve these. Making sure you and your family are protected from any unexpected surprises is a key part of any plan and gives peace of mind. Plans should have flexibility as we all know that life can be unpredictable! All great relationships start with a conversation!
