Make sure what you’ve built ends up where it should - in the hands of the people you love, not the taxman.
Start Your Legacy Plan 💬
Think of it as a tax-smart Life Insurance policy.
It’s cover designed to help your loved ones deal with Inheritance Tax, by paying out a lump sum that isn’t eaten up by the taxman.
It’s not just for millionaires.
IHT can take 40% of anything over the threshold - which means even a modest estate could come with a nasty surprise for your family.
A simple step that makes a big difference.
Putting your policy in Trust keeps it out of your taxable estate - so the full payout goes straight to your loved ones, quickly and tax-free.
Spoiler: probably more than you think.
It’s not just savings. Your home, Life Cover, business shares and even pensions could count toward your estate’s value.
And how a Trust helps speed it up.
Probate can take months, delaying access to Life Insurance payouts when families need them most. But a policy placed in Trust avoids that bottleneck - letting funds go straight to loved ones, quickly and tax-free.
Before it becomes someone else’s problem.
Legacy Cover helps turn what could be a messy, delayed, and costly process into something clear, simple, and stress-free for your family. It’s not just smart planning - it’s a genuine act of care.
Life Insurance for Inheritance Tax planning isn’t just about passing on money - it’s about protecting the future you worked hard to build, and helping your family receive more of what you intended to leave behind.
Probate can delay access to your Life Insurance payout by weeks or even months - and during that time, your loved ones might be stuck handling bills and final expenses. Putting your policy in Trust gets the money to them faster, tax-free, and with far less stress.
Speed Up the Payout 💸
Once you’ve hit the threshold, Inheritance Tax can claim 40% of what you leave behind. With the right policy in Trust, that money can go where you want it - not to HMRC’s pocket. We’ll help you plan it smartly and simply.
