What is a trust, and why do you need to register it in the UK? 🤔

The succession rules of England and Wales may surprise you.

Did you know that getting married or registering a civil partnership revokes any prior will you may have?

There is an exception to this rule - you can do your will in advance, and state that the will is ‘in contemplation’ of the marriage/civil partnership.

Breaking news: ABR/BPR allowance increase to £2.5million

We are delighted to share an update from the government that the allowance for 100% relief of agricultural property relief (APR) and business property relief (BPR) will be increased from £1 million to £2.5 million.

This means that a couple will now be able to pass on up to £5 million of agricultural or business assets between them, on top of the existing allowances such as the nil rate band. This change takes effect on 6 April 2026.

We welcome this change and are pleased that STEP expertise has helped contribute to this change to the policy. Read more via this press release: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/inheritance-tax-reliefs-threshold-to-rise-to-25m-for-farmers-and-businesses

What is an electronic will? 🤔

The way we write and sign wills in England and Wales is set to change. For almost 200 years, the rules around making a valid will have remained largely unchanged.

But the Law Commission, an independent organisation that reviews laws in England and Wales, is now proposing a major update: allowing wills to be made and signed electronically.

Can you use life insurance to pay an inheritance tax? 🤔

Using a life assurance policy, under trust, to pay an inheritance tax (IHT) liability on death, is a well-trodden path.

However, the recent changes in the 2024 Autumn Budget to business property relief, agricultural property relief and pensions mean more people will need to pay IHT, or more than they were expecting to. These changes were slightly amended in the 2025 Budget.

A life assurance policy can be a cost-effective solution.
