• 14% don’t have a clear successor.

Family businesses face unique challenges, and one significant concern is the risk of family members being pushed out of the business. According to a recent survey, 23% of family business owners fear that their business may no longer remain in the family.

This is a crucial issue that can have a lasting impact on both the business and family relationships.

Business owners, have you put measures in place to ensure your business and assets remain within the family? What strategies have worked for you?

"Inheritance tax is charged at 40% on the property, possessions and money, external of somebody who has died, above a £325,000 threshold.

It is only charged on the part of the estate that lies above the threshold. For example, on an estate worth £335,000, the tax would apply to the additional £10,000.

The chancellor said this threshold will remain in place for an extra two years, until 2030.

Inheritance tax must be paid by the end of the sixth month after the person's death, otherwise interest is charged too."

Common Misconceptions about Wills:

"Since remarrying after my divorce, I assume my children are covered by my spouse's will."

This is not necessarily true. Your spouse could amend their will, potentially disinheriting your children, or they might remarry. What if your spouse passes away before their new partner?

At Adept Asset Solutions, we excel in estate planning for blended families, ensuring your legacy and your heirs are safeguarded.

When it comes to writing your Will, it is critical to have a professional provide the expertise to craft one. We are the experts to assist with the entire process, from beginning to end, ensuring the creation of a proper and binding Will.

Starting estate planning, especially with Tenants in Common and Life Interest Trusts, requires a clear understanding due to its complexity.

Many people mistakenly believe that half of a property's value will automatically be ignored when assessing care fees, thinking it has no market value. However, this assumption can be risky since local authorities may evaluate the situation differently.

Another common mistake is not clearly documenting the Trust details in a Will, which can cause confusion and legal issues later on. Additionally, not considering the emotional and practical effects on the surviving spouse or partner can lead to unexpected restrictions and obligations.

Life Interest Trusts can also have an impact on how Inheritance Tax is calculated, particularly if your spouse or beneficiaries own other property and/or assets that will push them over the IHT threshold of £325,000.

Taking the above into account, it's crucial to thoroughly understand and carefully plan these aspects to avoid unwanted results and ensure your estate planning goals are met.

Establishing a Life Interest ensures you control where your property ultimately goes.

Your surviving spouse retains a place to live, while you can guarantee that at least half of the house will eventually be passed to your children or other beneficiaries.

This portion of the property is protected from being used to pay for care home fees. Should the surviving spouse spend extravagantly, remarry, or require care, only their half of the house can be affected.

This approach can effectively shield your assets from care home costs and manage the complexities that come with second marriages. A new spouse can reside in the home, but upon the original surviving spouse’s death, your half-share of the property will go to your chosen beneficiaries.

Setting up Tenants in Common and Life Interest Trusts helps protect your legacy, but they come with legal and financial details that need expert help. That's where a skilled estate planner or solicitor becomes essential.

If you haven't already, it's time to take action and create an estate plan that reflects your unique needs, wishes, and values.

Misconceptions About Wills:

"Life assurance will cover my mortgage if I pass away."

However, unless the life assurance is placed in Trust, it becomes part of the Estate, necessitating Probate before the funds can be accessed to settle the mortgage. Consequently, your dependents would still be responsible for mortgage payments.

Alright, imagine you and a friend are playing with a big box of building blocks.

You each have your own special section of the blocks that you can play with and do whatever you want. If you ever decide to give your blocks to someone else, like your sibling or your children, you can do that because they're your blocks.

Now, let's think of a house as that box of building blocks. When two or more people own a house together as Tenants in Common, each person owns a part of the house. This means they can choose who gets their part if something happens to them. They can leave their share to anyone they want, like their family or friends, by saying so in a Will.

This is really helpful for people who have blended families or aren't married, because they can make sure their part of the house goes to the right person. So, Tenants in Common means you and your co-owners each have your own part of the house.

If you haven't already, it's time to take action and create an estate plan that reflects your unique needs, wishes, and values.

Most of us work very hard over the years to buy our own homes and build up our savings for our retirement
and would like to leave a 'little something' for our children and grandchildren after we are gone.

Unfortunately, the costs involved in moving into a care home can literally wipe out your entire
savings and your home may have to be sold to pay for Care fees. This could mean that your loved
ones could receive very little, or even nothing at all of what you originally intended them to have.

When someone enters Care they are automatically 'means tested' and ALL of your assets, including
your home are taken into account. Only those who have very few assets will escape the costs of Care.

But losing your home to cover the costs of care isn't inevitable. With proper estate planning, there are steps that can be taken to protect your home and your legacy.

If you haven't already, it's time to take action and create an estate plan that reflects your unique needs, wishes, and values.

02/10/2024

The need for social care (such as getting extra help at home, or needing to be moved to a care facility) is assessed by your local council, and how much you financially contribute to the cost of your care is means tested.

Your income and savings will be included in this assessment, and if you need to move into residential care then the value of your property could be taken into consideration.

If you live with someone (for example, a spouse or a partner), the last thing you’d want is for them to lose their home to pay for your care fees. This is where those two important things, Tenants in Common and Life Interest, come into play.

The Prenuptial should be prepared and signed in good time before the marriage takes place.

The Courts have previously dismissed Prenuptials prepared in haste before the marriage takes place, as this may place undue pressure on a party to sign the Agreement in order to ensure that the wedding goes ahead as planned.

Ensure peace of mind for both you and your partner by considering a prenuptial agreement. It’s not just about finances; it’s about clear communication and mutual respect.

'Bloodline Planning' ensures your assets reach your children, grandchildren, and other loved ones, safeguarding them from ending up in the wrong hands!

When assets are passed directly to beneficiaries as lump sum payments—whether in cash, property, or other forms—much can be lost. These assets become part of the beneficiary's estate and are vulnerable to future divorce settlements, creditors, and taxation.

We can help ensure that your children and grandchildren fully benefit from the inheritance you intend for them. Simultaneously, we'll protect the family home and other assets from being depleted by the costs of long-term care.
