High-Net-Worth Inheritance Tax Planning – West London
Before speaking to us, many new high-net-worth Inheritance Tax (IHT) clients are unaware of the substantial savings that can be achieved.
That’s because:
- Our Inheritance Tax service is deeper than an IFA’s – as we can advise across the complex interplay of taxes and investments.
- You’ll receive comprehensive, tailored tax advice – for your specific needs.
This can ensure your associated savings increase and your risks are reduced.

- Wills and probate
Inheritance Tax Case Study
The IHT Problem
Our client, in his 80s, owned a hotel and wanted to minimise his inheritance tax (IHT) and ensure his estate passed to his children.
How We Helped
We used our combined expertise in: tax planning, investment management and probate to meet his objectives. We then helped him implement it correctly – ensuring arrangements were watertight. Our probate arm will also administer his estate.
The Result
Our client’s estate will be passed on to children – and the family will save £2m in taxes.
