Estate Planning is becoming an important matter for more and more people. Taking measures during life enables you to transfer accrued assets to surviving relatives in a fiscally beneficial way. The Deloitte experts at Private Client Services (PCS) can give you the right advice.

Lowering Inheritance Tax
Estate Planning can help you to reduce future inheritance tax. Inheritance tax rates range from 5% to as much as 27% if the heirs are the surviving spouse and children. The rates are even higher if the beneficiaries are persons other than the surviving spouse and children. You can save on future inheritance tax by:

• Drawing up a fiscally correct prenuptial/postnuptial agreement. 
• Preparing a will that ensures optimum tax relief.
• Transferring assets during life, for example through gifts.
