flag Solicitor warns gifting houses to avoid inheritance tax can risk tax liabilities and legal issues.

flag A solicitor warns that gifting a house to children to avoid inheritance tax can lead to significant risks. flag New rules mean inheritance tax will apply to all transferable pension wealth starting April 2027, and tax bands are frozen until 2029/30. flag Gifting may be subject to tax if the giver dies within seven years, and it could cause issues if children divorce or face bankruptcy. flag Gifting also limits downsizing options and could be ignored by councils if seen as asset deprivation. flag Professional advice is crucial before making such gifts.
