Li & Chan Law Firm advises individuals and families on how to structure their estates in a way that preserves value and reduces inheritance tax liability under UK law. Our lawyers work closely with private clients, trustees, and business owners to prepare lifetime planning strategies that are both tax-efficient and legally sound.

We assist with use of nil-rate bands, gifting allowances, life insurance structuring, business property relief, and charitable legacies. Our team also provides cross-border advice for clients with foreign assets, dual nationality, or non-UK domiciles, ensuring plans reflect international tax exposure.

Whether you're planning for future generations, updating a will, or preparing for succession, we provide clear guidance on protecting family assets from unnecessary erosion.

Key Features:

1.     Lifetime Gifting & Relief Planning
We help clients reduce estate size through legal gifting strategies, using seven-year exemptions, annual allowances, and trust transfers all while preserving family harmony and recordkeeping compliance.

2.     Business & Agricultural Relief Structuring
Business owners and landholders benefit from tailored strategies using available tax reliefs. We draft legal instruments to ensure qualifying conditions are met and risks are minimised during audits.

3.     Cross-Border Inheritance Tax Compliance
Advice for UK residents with overseas property or dual-domicile status. We ensure your estate plan complies with international treaties and avoids double taxation.
