Inheritance Tax

Teacher Stern’s private client team advises UK and non-UK domiciled individuals and their families on all aspects of inheritance tax planning.

Careful tax planning is often needed to ensure that an estate’s inheritance tax liabilities are kept to a minimum. Through the use of bespoke lifetime tax planning strategies and tailored estate plans, our private client team can help you mitigate potential inheritance tax liabilities and preserve your wealth for future generations.

The bespoke estate plans we prepare often employ the use of UK and/or international tax structures to assist UK and non-UK domiciled individuals and their families in managing and protecting their worldwide assets. In addition, for clients who are non-UK domiciled, we often employ simple offshore planning and structuring techniques to ensure they benefit from the significant mitigation of UK inheritance tax liability.

Our private client team has significant experience in advising international families and residents on estate planning matters.  In providing this advice, and in putting related estate and tax planning structures in place, we work closely with our clients’ personal accountants and other independent advisors to ensure all matters are properly considered and co-ordinated.

Our aim is to provide a tailored solution which meets our clients’ individual needs and which can be adapted over time to take account of changing circumstances.
