BBC Radio 4 - Money Box Live, Wills and Inheritance Tax

Financial phone-in. Paul Lewis and guests answer queries about wills and inheritance tax.

Planning a will or puzzled by inheritance tax? To talk to Paul Lewis and guests, call 03700 100 444 from 1pm to 3.30pm on Wednesday or e-mail moneybox@bbc.co.uk now.

Around 26 million UK adults do not have a will and without one you will have no say in who benefits from your money and property after your death.

If you are living as a couple but are unmarried and not in a civil partnership, your partner may receive nothing.

Writing a will allows you to decide what will happen to your home and possessions and who will be responsible for carrying out your wishes. 

Planning now can also mean that your beneficiaries do not pay too much inheritance tax.

Tax rules allow you to give away some of your assets tax-free, but how much, who to and when?

If you have a question about how to leave your assets to your nearest and dearest Paul Lewis and guests will be ready to help on Wednesday. 

Waiting to answer your questions will be:

Alan Barr, Partner, Brodies in Edinburgh
Jenny Bird, Solicitor, Russell-Cooke
Gary Rycroft, Solicitor, Joseph A Jones & Co

Call 03700 100 444 from 1pm to 3.30pm on Wednesday or e-mail your question to moneybox@bbc.co.uk now. Standard geographic call charges apply.
