Inheritance Tax Considerations
You have probably heard about Inheritance Tax (the so-called ‘death tax’) and perhaps even thought about what your situation is in relationship to it. The threshold in 2009/10 has been set at £325,000, although this amount is subject to change every year.
Even if your estate is over the threshold, there are ways of passing on assets without paying inheritance tax: donations, gifts, transfers, and exemptions form a complex legal area. It pays to have expert guidance and help to ensure that things run smoothly.
Care Home Fees and Finances
How much you pay towards your care home fees will depend on your local council. Before moving into a care home, they will carry out a financial assessment to determine how much you pay, if anything, towards the cost of your care. But this does not necessarily mean having to sell your own home or liquidate assets that you would prefer to be retained as an inheritance for your loved ones. See more here Care Home Fees – Facts.
