It may be possible to reduce the amount of tax payable on inheritance if advice is taken in advance and a will is made.

The disposition of a person's estate after death is governed primarily by the person's will or, if no valid will exists, by the laws of intestacy.

Why is making a will important?

• Without a will, there are certain rules which dictate how the money, property or possessions should be allocated.

• Inheritance tax can be minimised when making a will.

• Unmarried partners and partners who have not registered a civil partnership cannot inherit from each other without a will.

• Making arrangements for children if one or both parents die.

• It is particularly relevant when minor children are involved.
