PROTECTED GIFTING
Giving a gift is a great feeling, seeing half that gift disappear to someone you didn't expect it to go to would be crushing. Friends and family dynamics can be a constantly changing environment and it is wise to plan accordingly.
​
Unfortunately everyone doesn't walk off into the sunset and live happily ever after, or they may find themselves in a position where they could lose everything. Protecting a gift when it is given to a loved one can ensure control can be maintained by trustees.
​
Placing money or assets into a trust before gifting can protect from:
​
-
Divorce settlement
​​
-
Protect the asset from creditors
​
-
IHT liability on the death of the beneficiary.​
​​
-
​Diversion of wealth flow.
​
Prudent planning can avoid these potential problems and further reduce the tax liability on the death of the surviving beneficiary, allowing the wealth to flow down the generations in a controlled manner as a part of your legacy.
