As much as we like to be prepared and plan well in advance for our future, sometimes events can overtake us and we find ourselves with limited time in which to make decisions. Suddenly having to deal with one’s mortality can be painful enough, but it can be made even more distressing if we are concerned about providing for our loved ones in the most efficient manner, once we are gone. Here at Ten Forward we understand that unforeseen circumstances can mean we need to take immediate action to safeguard the future of our estate for our loved ones which is why we are able to provide an immediate 11th hour solution. As long as an individual is UK resident and domiciled, this solution allows them to immediately reduce the value of their estate for inheritance (“IHT”) purposes.
