LOCAL BUSINESS FOCUS
How far down the line are you?
Working alongside my sister company Nsure Financial Services means
that I can ensure that my clients receive expert advice tailored to their
individual needs. Between us we alleviate most of our clients worries and
find solutions to their problems saving them and their estate both time and
money, but not always how you would expect.
We don’t tell people that the best thing to do is to put their house into a Trust to
avoid care home fees or an IHT bill, as we know that this rarely works. Trying to hide
your property from the tax man or in the case of care fees, the local authority can
mean that you are essentially committing benefit fraud as you would have to hide
the existence of these Trusts at the point of assessment.
We don’t advise signing over your home to your children with you continuing to live
in the property as rather than avoiding an inheritance tax bill it often creates one,
with the only way around this being you paying your children as the new owners
the full market rent. If you don’t, this then becomes a gift with reservation and can
be considered as deliberate deprivation and your children may find that capital
gains tax kicks in at a level that it probably wouldn’t have been if the property hadn’t
been signed over.
So, if we don’t do any of those things, what do we do?
For home owning couples, we may advise you to sever the tenancy on your
property changing the ownership from joint tenants to tenants in common. We
can then create a Life Interest Trust (LIT) within your Will leaving your half of the
property to a person/s other than your partner- often your children. What this
means is that if on second death, the remaining partner goes on to require care
that only half of the value of the property can be assessed for care fees, which
whilst it may still sting, does mean that there will be funds for private quality care
as well as a legacy for your family. It is also means that the remaining partner can
stay living in the property, sell it and downsize should they wish with their needs
always taking precedence until stipulated within your Will. A LIT also protects your
children’s inheritance from being wholly swallowed up by second marriage hence it
sometimes being referred to as a ‘Blood Line Will’.
The other crucial thing we do is to get a clear overview from you as to your current
financial situation and if it looks as though there will be inheritance tax to pay, a
financial services advisor may give you proper guidance on how to minimise this.
They can also talk you through the different ways you can properly fund later life
care should you ever need it.
