Latest News
Will you have to sell your home to fund long term care?
The care thresholds for 2009-2010 are as follows:
England Lower - £14,000 Upper - £23,000 Wales Lower - £20,750 Upper - £22,000 Scotland Lower - £13,750 Upper - £22,500 What does this mean? If you have assets valued at over the 'upper' threshold (valuation includes any property) you will be expected to fund your own residential care costs. This year an estimated 70,000 homes will be sold to fund these costs. If you have assets between the 'lower' and 'upper' thresholds you will receive some state help towards funding care costs (on a sliding scale). If you have total assets below the 'lower' threshold your care will be funded by your Local Authority at a rate set by them. The good news - with proper planning in place you can better protect your assets. Contact us to find out how.
Inheritance Tax Thresholds 2009-2010
The Nil Rate Band (the amount that can be given away before inheritance tax is applied at 40%) is £325,000 for the current tax year.
Married couples and Civil partners have the ability to 'carry over' a Nil Rate Band potentially allowing up to £650,000 to be given away TAX FREE. Inheritance Tax can be minimised or eradicated with effective planning - contact us to see how we can help.
