Summary

Inheritance tax is a tricky topic. Taboos around speaking about money and the emotion that comes with thinking about death create a perfect storm for misunderstanding it. But with such complex rules around inheritance, it is a topic well worth talking about – and sooner rather than later. Lisa Conway Hughes, a certified financial adviser and founder of LCH Wealth, speaks to MoneyWeek's Kalpana Fitzpatrick about how the inheritance tax regime is changing from April 2027, the quirks of the new system, and why it could be a good idea to visit a financial adviser.
