How to Protect Your Assets

There are many ways to safeguard your assets: the starting point is to to make a will to lessen the impact of problems raised by threats such as:

• Inheritance tax (IHT)
• Care home fees
• Capital gains tax
• Forced inheritance
• Family or matrimonial problems
• Business risks
• Lack of mental capacity

Actions you can take to protect your assets include:

• Creating a family trust to save your relatives the trouble of going through the legal procedures of probate – the legal process of “proving” a will in court
• Making a transfer of property agreement to allow a smooth transaction to family or loved ones
• Leaving your share of a property under a joint tenancy to avoid the property automatically transferring to the other tenant
• Obtaining a freezing injunction to prevent access to certain assets
