Our specialist team at Grant Saw firstly determines the size and nature of the client’s estate and then we look at all the possible tax exemptions which are legally acceptable and relevant to the estate in question. We encourage clients to participate in estate planning to reduce the probability of being responsible for exorbitant inheritance tax liabilities. We pride ourselves on world class service by a highly trained team and also cater for disabled clients, with full wheelchair access at the Greenwich and Blackheath offices”.
Grant Saw Solicitors LLP has been accredited by the Law Society for excellence in Wills and Probate, referred to as WIQS (Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme). There is also a member of Solicitors for the Elderly and an associate member of STEP on board, which affords a proper insight into this sensitive field and ensures that clients will receive the most appropriate professional advice available.
Clients are urged to schedule appointments with the team of specialists at Grant Saw Solicitors LLP to discuss important issues regarding inheritance tax planning. Discussions can be done by phone or email or by means of a face-to-face meeting, whichever method is preferential to the client. The initial meeting would allow the solicitors to determine the size of the inheritance tax liability and propose cost saving options.
There are many options available to reduce the liability of inheritance tax, which will be discussed with the client by the tax solicitor. These would include lifetime gifts of assets, subject to the seven-year rule, the creation of trusts, restructuring of the ownership of assets, maximising the benefits of inheritance tax allowances, as well as exemptions and reliefs. The options are not limited to this list; therefore, it is imperative to call in the specialist team at Grant Saw Solicitors LLP for leading advice.
With the professional and transparent approach taken by Grant Saw Solicitors LLP, clients will be informed about procedures continuously. Timeframes of legal processes will depend on the intricacy of the estate planning options, with a timescale estimate provided at the start of proceedings.
