Post-death tax planning covers how to manage the tax implications after someone dies, principally inheritance tax and related duties, while organising the estate and trusted arrangements to protect beneficiaries. A solicitor helps by tailoring strategies around available reliefs, exemptions and make-up solutions like deeds of variation, gifting strategies, and using trusts to manage liabilities. They prepare and review documents, coordinate with executors and beneficiaries, and liaise with HM Revenue & Customs and probate offices to implement the plan.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The plan targets the timely and compliant settlement of the estate, with attention to deadlines for IHT forms and probate. A solicitor’s role includes explaining duties, ensuring valid elections and elections for reliefs, and guiding the process through the Court-based probate procedure and HMRC checks, while safeguarding beneficiaries through proper administration and record-keeping.

Tagged solicitor Karen Woods

My family and I used Russell & Russell for the sale of our late mother’s property. Karen Woods and her team provided an excellent service. They were supportive, approachable and always responded quickly to questions and queries. The online portal was easy to use and aided the smooth running of the conveyancing. I’d have no hesitation in using their service in the future or recommending them to others.
