Family advice and estate planning

Perhaps not the nicest thing to think about, but no less important: what if I am no longer around? What happens to my assets? Will there be enough to pay inheritance tax from? Can inheritance tax be saved? Will I leave my loved ones well behind? What will happen to my business? Is it wise to gift assets to my children now? All these questions come together in estate planning.

Estate planning focuses on the transfer of assets from one generation to another generation(s) around a person's death. Estate planning can ensure savings in, for example, inheritance tax, but also that your business continues to exist after your death.

Estate planning is of interest to anyone with assets who would like to leave them to someone. It does not matter how big these assets are or what they consist of. The bigger the asset, the bigger the possible tax savings, of course.

Getting things right around your death is nice for your peace of mind and for your dependents. Our advice, therefore, is that you cannot think about estate planning early enough. Every situation is unique. VWG has the knowledge and experience to take stock of your current situation, uncover any bottlenecks and find a suitable solution for them.
