Property is a very important source of wealth for the majority of clients but this means approximately 24,000 estates a year have an IHT liability. The number of homes reaching a couple’s £1m threshold is rising each year and is anticipated to be up to 1.6m in 2029 – especially as 770,000 properties in the UK are currently worth over £1m, creating £2.5bn of property wealth for the over 75’s. These are huge numbers resulting in many clients wanting to know how, and if anything can be done to mitigate some of their IHT liability. In this session we will compare how effective Wealth Management strategies can be using pension funds and Lifetime Mortgages.
