When it comes to passing on wealth, the focus is often on how much to give. But the structure of a gift can be just as important as its value.

Potentially Exempt Transfers (PETs) and Chargeable Lifetime Transfers (CLTs) are commonly used in estate planning, yet many people are unaware of the key differences between them.

Understanding those differences could help avoid unexpected consequences and support more effective long-term planning.

We explain all in our latest article - https://rlksolicitors.com/news-insights/pet-vs-clt-understanding-two-common-ways-to-pass-on-wealth-during-your-lifetime

In the months after a bereavement, legal and financial decisions aren’t always the first thing on people’s minds. But unfortunately, there are some decisions that need to be made quickly.

When it comes to a deed of variation, timing can be crucial. To be used for tax purposes, it must be completed within two years of the date of death. That means waiting too long to take advice could mean missing the opportunity altogether.

For some families, a deed of variation can make a real difference to how an estate is structured, and whether valuable tax efficiencies can be achieved, so it’s well worth exploring within the window.
