It is natural to want your relatives and friends to benefit in full from the assets within your estate. In many cases it is possible to take steps to reduce the potential tax liability on those assets. This is sometimes called ‘Estate Planning,’ and we have experienced practitioners who can assist in this specialist area. Carefully planning the financial affairs of your estate is essential to ensure that you can pass on the maximum benefit to your beneficiaries.
Fahri LLP embrace all aspects of tax and estate planning; income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax planning whether it be for individuals, business owners or trusts providing modern solutions to our clients’ wealth management needs.
We can provide a full estate planning service by establishing the appropriate structures, including acting as executors and help with the on-going administration of your estate and all tax and accounting.
There are a number of areas that need to be addressed in estate planning:
- Succession planning – ensuring that your assets pass to your chosen heirs, at the right time, in the right way and with the minimum of taxation.
- Tax planning – mitigating your exposure to income and capital taxes.
- Asset protection – implementing strategies designed to protect your assets from external and family risks.
- Incapacity planning – ensuring that suitable arrangements are in place should there come a day when you are unable to make decisions for yourself.
A vital part of planning for a secure financial future is the creation and ongoing maintenance of the right investment and wealth management strategy. We provide innovative investment solutions tailored to your individual needs.
