Inheritance Tax Update: Preparing for the April 2027 Pension Changes
September 16th 2026
2pm - 5pm
Speakers: Lorna Christine
Virtual Seminar
From April 2027, pensions will be brought within the scope of inheritance tax, creating significant implications for many clients with substantial pension wealth. What has traditionally been an effective planning tool may now give rise to unexpected tax exposure on death.
For solicitors, this change presents both a risk and an opportunity — from advising clients in advance to dealing with more complex estates in practice. This session will provide a clear and practical overview of the changes and how best to prepare.
