The scheme will offer government-backed equity loans of 20% to those buying new build homes in England, who have at least a 2.5% cash deposit towards their purchase.

The scheme is expected to work in a similar way to the previous Help to Buy equity loan programme, which ran for 10 years from 2013 until 2023.

It can be difficult for beneficiaries to pay IHT within the six-month deadline, where an estate has assets that take longer to sell, such as property. Pensions could add similar issues from April 2027.

Beneficiaries may be forced to sell other assets or borrow money to cover an IHT bill where assets in an estate can’t be easily crystallised.

Whole of life assurance policies pay out a guaranteed lump sum on death. This money can be used to pay an IHT bill where an estate is highly illiquid.

Unexpected CGT bills are becoming more common, partly because the annual CGT exemption has fallen in recent years.

To help avoid future surprises, keep records of purchases, sales and gifts of assets. This will make calculating any gains much easier.

If you receive an unexpected CGT bill, take time to understand what triggered it, check the figures carefully and put a plan in place to pay it.

Meet Carole Benn of Carole Benn Wealth Management Ltd πŸ’°

Carole's line of work in one sentence: she helps clients navigate their finances for a better future. She's been running her own business for 11 years and knows the subject inside out.

Here's the problem Carole solves that a lot of people don't realise they have. Most of us are under-protected. If something catastrophic happened, death, critical illness, long-term sickness, many people simply aren't covered for it. Carole helps make sure that if the worst happens, it doesn't also become a financial disaster.

A quick myth-buster: people assume financial advice is expensive. With Carole, it isn't. That's the misconception she hears most, and it stops people getting help they genuinely need.

The best result she's had for a client? A client who wanted to retire in 2020, right in the middle of Covid and all the market chaos that came with it. Because Carole had planned carefully and managed risk all the way to retirement, the turbulence didn't touch their plans. They retired when they wanted to, exactly as intended. πŸ‘

That's what good financial planning actually looks like. Not glamorous, not headline-grabbing. Just a client whose life went to plan when everything around them was falling apart.

Who's an ideal referral for Carole?
Anyone thinking about retirement, young or old. It's never too early to start and never too late to get it right. If someone you know is wondering whether they're on track, Carole's the person to ask.

Now, something you'd never guess about Carole: she used to be a Sunday school teacher! πŸ˜„ Patient, clear and good at explaining things simply. Makes sense when you think about it.

Outside work, Carole loves travelling, socialising, reading and, in her own words, simply being happy. A fine set of priorities. β˜€οΈ

Want to refer her? Here are the words:
"Would you like to speak to someone who explains finances in plain language and delivers solutions bespoke to your circumstances?"

Carole, great to have you and Carole Benn Wealth Management in the room. 🌟

Most unused pension assets will be included in an estate for inheritance tax purposes from 6 April 2027.

The rule change means many families will need to review their retirement income and estate planning strategies.

Most pensions can be accessed from age 55 (rising to 57 from 2028).

The new retirement dilemma: preserve or spend your pension?

An additional 10,500 estates are expected to become liable for IHT as a result of the rule change in the 2027/28 tax year. A further 38,500 estates are expected to face a higher IHT bill.

People who may be affected include those with larger pensions, valuable property and families expecting to inherit significant wealth.

Do not make rushed decisions. Start by understanding the value of your estate and reviewing whether your plans are still suitable.
