Estate Planning and Inheritance Tax
The Inheritance tax rate is 33%. We can reduce the cost of this imminent bill.
You no longer have to be a millionaire to be liable to inheritance tax. People who are not married or related and inherit more than €16,250 will pay tax @ 33% (excluding the family home in very restricted cases).
The tax threshold for an ARF Pension is zero.
A couple aged 65 may have to live beyond 100 to over pay inheritance life insurance.
Relationships
The state still imposes CAT and inheritance tax on people in non-married relationships.
This could mean the existing policies you are paying may be benefiting someone other than those you intended.
Corporate and Partnership Insurance
Your business can be exposed to liquidity deficits or you can protect it from the financial consequences of the death of a director, shareholder or key member of staff. The cover provides for everything from buying back the share of a business from the deceased’s estate to the cost of temporary replacement staff, loss of income and even the cost of searching for and recruiting a successor.
We can advise you on getting your business protected and securing the best cover at competitive rates.
5% of company closures are attributed to the death of a key director. Life cover can enable a company to buy back its own shares and gives it the cash to recruit replacement key personnel.
For example with just 2 directors over 40 years old, there is a 75% chance that one will die, suffer a critical or long term illness before the age of 65. With this insurance the firm can afford to buy the deceased shares and keep the company shares in the control of the remaining shareholders. Most successful businesses don’t take a 75% chance of failure.
Could your business sustain the cost of paying a fair price for shares of the spouse and family of a deceased shareholder? Could your firm pay off your widow in the event of your death and her / his necessity to en-cash his / her shares?
