I’m delighted to share that I recently contributed to a feature in This is Money, exploring a real-life question around cross-border inheritance:
The piece delves into the complexities of passing on UK property to beneficiaries based overseas, and highlights the vital importance of proper estate planning — particularly when different legal systems and tax regimes are involved.
In my contribution, I discussed how trusts can play a powerful role in inheritance planning — especially when the beneficiary is considered vulnerable. A Vulnerable Person’s Trust, for example, can offer tax advantages while safeguarding assets and preserving access to means-tested benefits. When set up correctly, these trusts can also ensure that inheritance intentions are carried out with greater legal certainty, particularly in cross-border scenarios.
