Join us on Wednesday, 19 August, from 7:00pm – 8:00pm for an essential online webinar exploring one of the biggest inheritance tax changes in decades, and what it could mean for your family’s wealth.

WHY ATTEND?

From April 2027, proposed changes to inheritance tax legislation are expected to bring pension wealth into many estates for the first time. For successful dentists and business owners, this could result in significantly higher inheritance tax bills and the loss of valuable tax reliefs.

Many families who have never considered themselves affected by inheritance tax may suddenly find themselves facing substantial liabilities. The good news is that there is still time to plan, but the window to take action is closing.

In this practical webinar, our experts will explain what the changes mean, who is most likely to be affected, and the steps you can take now to protect your wealth while maintaining control of your assets.

Whether you’re planning for retirement or thinking about your family’s long-term financial future, this session will give you the knowledge and confidence to prepare before April 2027.
