Avoid inheritance tax like the Duke of Westminster

Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, died this week of a heart attack, at 64 years old.

The duke was the third richest person in Britain and his passing has prompted a debate about inheritance tax.

By all accounts, Gerald Grosvenor was a remarkable man.

He became the sixth Duke of Westminster in 1979, and is described on the Grosvenor Estate website as : “…a passionate country man, committed soldier, an excellent shot, a true entrepreneur and, importantly, he went out of his way to be courteous and humorous with all people, regardless of status or wealth.”

Following his death, his son Hugh Grosvenor, previously known by the honorary title Earl Grosvenor, has inherited an estate worth £9bn.

Despite the substantial inheritance, the new Duke of Westminster is expected to pay very little inheritance tax.

In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, Martin talks about the use of trusts, business property relief and agricultural relief to avoid inheritance tax.
