Our inheritance tax planning solicitors provide tailored advice to help individuals, families and business owners reduce inheritance tax exposure and protect wealth for future generations.
Careful inheritance tax planning can play an important role in protecting family wealth, preserving assets and ensuring more of your estate passes to future generations.
Our private wealth solicitors advise individuals, families, business owners and high net worth individuals looking to minimise inheritance tax exposure through effective estate and succession planning. We regularly assist clients with substantial property portfolios, family businesses, investments, trusts, international assets and cross-border estates.
Inheritance tax planning is about far more than reducing a future tax liability. It involves creating a structured plan that protects wealth, supports family objectives and provides certainty for future generations. We provide tailored advice designed to help clients preserve assets while ensuring their affairs are organised efficiently and in accordance with their long term goals.

Protecting Family Wealth for Future Generations
Without appropriate planning, inheritance tax can significantly reduce the value of an estate passed to loved ones.
Effective inheritance tax planning allows families to structure their affairs in a way that supports wealth preservation while maintaining flexibility and control. Whether your estate includes property, investments, business interests or inherited wealth, careful planning can help minimise unnecessary tax exposure and provide greater certainty for your family.
We work closely with clients to create bespoke plans that align with their personal, financial and family intentions.
International Assets and Cross-Border Estates
Many of our clients have assets and family connections that extend beyond the UK.
International property portfolios, overseas investments, family businesses and assets held across multiple jurisdictions can create additional complexity when planning for inheritance tax and succession.
Our private wealth solicitors regularly advise global families and internationally mobile individuals on the inheritance and estate planning implications of holding assets in different countries.
We help clients understand potential cross-border considerations and coordinate advice where appropriate to ensure their wider estate planning objectives are achieved.
Succession Planning for Business Owners and High Net Worth Individuals
Inheritance tax planning is often closely linked with wider succession planning.
Business owners, entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals frequently require advice that goes beyond a simple will. Family companies, investment portfolios, trusts and valuable property holdings often require a carefully considered approach to ensure wealth can be transferred efficiently while protecting the interests of future generations.
Our succession planning advice focuses on preserving assets, supporting future generations and ensuring wealth can be passed on as efficiently as possible.
Every inheritance tax planning strategy is bespoke to the client’s individual circumstances and objectives.
Our Expertise
International Estates
Where assets or family members are spread across different countries, careful cross-border planning is essential.
Our solicitors prepare UK wills for international estates, coordinate succession planning across jurisdictions and structure assets to minimise jurisdictional conflicts and double taxation. This ensures estates can be administered efficiently wherever assets are located.
Contested Wills and Disputes
Disputes over wills and estates can be complex and sensitive. Our solicitors act in contested will claims, inheritance disputes and challenges to estate administration. We aim to resolve conflicts efficiently through negotiation or, where necessary, court proceedings, always focusing on protecting your legal and financial position.
Wills and Estate Planning
Preparing a legally sound will is the foundation of effective estate planning. Our solicitors draft wills that clearly reflect your wishes, appoint appropriate executors and guardians and integrate with wider succession and tax planning to ensure your estate passes as intended.
Estate Administration and Probate
Our solicitors guide executors and administrators through the probate process, from obtaining grants of representation to collecting assets, paying liabilities and distributing the estate. We manage legal, tax and practical requirements to ensure estates are administered accurately and efficiently.
Inheritance tax planning requires more than simply preparing legal documents. It requires a detailed understanding of wealth preservation, succession planning, international assets and family structures.
At IMD Solicitors, we provide advice to clients looking to protect family wealth, support future generations and create effective succession plans both in the UK and internationally.
