Asset Gifting: One could consider transferring assets above the nil rate band and then outliving the subsequent 7 years. While this might sound straightforward, it is usually not an option for most people,as it involves relinquishing control over significant assets like one's home. If this route is chosen, such gifts are categorised as potentially exempt transfers (PETs) or chargeable lifetime transfers. It is crucial to arrange suitable life cover to address the tax when due.
If one opts for the asset gifting route, it is essential to ensure liquidity. This means having sufficient cash reserves, especially if the estate's primary assets aren't liquidated to address the tax. Remember, executors might often resort to borrowing to settle the tax.
