Inheritance Tax covers what a person’s estate pays on death or on certain lifetime gifts. A solicitor in this area helps executors and beneficiaries by calculating the tax due, identifying reliefs and exemptions, and organising the submission of the necessary paperwork to HM Revenue & Customs. Practitioners also advise on planning to reduce tax liability, draft or update wills and trusts, and handle complex asset valuations and transfers that affect the charge. In practice, this work is shaped by deadlines, the structure of the estate, and the need to secure correct tax treatment for beneficiaries.
What matters is ensuring the right tax is paid on time to HMRC and that the client’s rights as executors or beneficiaries are protected against avoidable penalties or errors. The solicitor’s role includes coordinating information, applying reliefs (such as the nil-rate band and residence nil-rate band), and guiding the estate through HMRC processes, including relevant forms and declarations.

I recently contracted Winston Solicitors to support me in obtaining a grant of probate following the death of a parent. I worked closely with Emily and found her to be supportive, have great communication and be able to navigate the IHT and probate processes very efficiently.

Tagged solicitor Jenna Green
Jenna Green, supported by Rachel Griggs, acted on behalf with both the sale of my existing property and the purchase of my next. Jenna was incredible from initial enquiry through to post completion. I was provided with all paperwork, search results, contracts in a friendly and timely manner. Most contractual enquiries where pre-empted and acted upon promptly, and if I had any questions they were answered on the same day. When I visited the office for documents to be signed and dropped off all the colleagues at Ward Gethin Archer were very friendly and happy to assist. Jenna understood that all parties wanted to move quickly with sale and purchase and she drove this, especially when we having problems with my buyers solicitor, who were dragging their heels. I preferred to communicate through email, but on completion day when we were experience avoidable delays, Jenna called me several times to update me on the progress. I knew she was doing everything she could to get us over the line and I'm so grateful for her incredible empathy and service. Post completion, we had a couple of issues with Solar Panels and HMRC, but again, without hesitation Jenna resolved these for me. This was the 2nd time I'd used Ward Gethin Archer for my conveyancing and you have a client for life. Simply incredible!!

Tagged solicitor Fakhruddin Maimoon
Our solicitor helped support my partner and I through the process of replacing our Wills, POA and reviewed civil partnership vs marriage options with respect to estate planning and impact of inheritance tax etc. Great service and support by Ali and the team of advisors that he brought in for specific questions or advice. The review request does not show potential areas for improvement, so have listed one just here. We have now had multiple services provided by Slaterheelis for property sales/purchase as well as estate planning. In general, each time we have to fill out a new client form - perhaps there is a way to stream line this so as to not be so repetitive, but still allow for each activity to be clearly listed, fees and service acknowledged.

The consultation was informative but due to other uncertainty about the whole matter it was not acted on.
