Set up a proper trust. IHT is a tax that's easily avoidable. Tax 101.

There are not many proper aristos left.

That's why I don't fall for the Tories tricks on inheritance tax. Anyone with wealth makes a trust to avoid it. Only little people who end up with wealth e.g. through property pay it.

Originally posted by AtW View PostTax is supposed to be on estate, and estate size is known - take 40% off trusts, easy...
Let's think of the following case:
Your neighbour lives in a house he lets a room in. The rent ends up in his daughter's bank account to pay for her studies. Once day the neighbour comes round for tea and asks you to keep an eye on the house while he's gone for holidays in France. He promises to bring you a bottle of your favourite wine.
Do you get slapped with an inheritance bill because of that? No.
A trust is a very similar concept, except the neighbour goes on a very long, one-way holiday and you have a written agreement.
