Making Estate Planning Simple (a UK perspective). Educational information only – not advice. A discounted gift trust is a long-term arrangement that usually can't be undone; any discount depends on underwriting, the investment can fall in value, and the tax outcome depends on residence and the rules at the time.
Educational only, not advice. James Spence is a Partner, Family Office and Private Client Adviser, with Neba Private Clients. This website is published for general educational information only. Nothing on it is an advertisement, an offer, a recommendation or personal financial, tax or legal advice, and it should not be relied on as such.
