My mother has asked me to find out:?
If she is a widow, is there any way to avoid inheritance tax -are there any tips you can offer?

Note: Please, no offers of consultations from financial advisers!

Many thanks for helpful answers.

The links might help you and your mother with this complex issue.

First of all is her total estate over ÂŁ300,000?

If not, then there is not much of an issue :)

If so then making gifts is one way. Bear in mind that your mother has to survive 7 years before the gift falls out of the taxable estate.

There is an annual gift allowance of ÂŁ3,000 and if this wasn;t used up last year then it can be backdated.

Any gift out of excess income is not taxable as long as it is regular and does not affect your mother's standard of living.

Another option (depending on age and health) is to effect a life assurance policy written under trust which is used to pay the IHT bill. This can be expensive though!

Your mother should not be tempted to give you her house and continue living in it - it doesn't work! This is called a gift with reservation and the HMRC merely assumes the gift never happened and taxes accordingly. If, however, she gifted the house to you then paid you a fair market rent then it would be fine - bearing in mind the 7 year rule.

If your Dad passed away within the last 2 years then you could make a legal alteration to his will and pass assets up to the IHT nil rate band into a Trust - if that didn't happen already.

These are just a few ideas. Your Mum really needs to get professional help. Start with the family solicitor and go from there.

Good luck :)

get her to put everthing in your name now

the only way to avoid it is to transfer everything into the other persons name before the current owner passes away.

She can transfer her assets to you and as long as she doesn’t pass away within 7 years then there is no inheritance tax to pay. However there are problems with this, mainly the fact that if she continues to live in her house, she would have to pay you 'rent' for doing this and you would be liable for income tax on this 'rent' as it would increase your income.

One way around this would be to use a trust fund. However the government are clamping down on this too.

One simple way of avoiding inheritance tax if your mother doesn’t not have 7 years, is to invest her assets and into the Alternative Investment Stock Market. If you hold these stocks and shares for 2 years then they become free from inheritance tax.
