Servicing
Protecting your client’s beneficiaries
If your client gifts assets to loved ones (who aren’t their spouse), there’s a risk they’d leave a large tax bill if they passed away. To make it worse, tax will be collected from the people who received the gift, rather than from the estate. This can be difficult to pay - especially if the gift is something tangible, like a home.
Our Gift Inter Vivos plan offers a lump sum paid on death. It’s aimed at your clients who have gifted assets to someone and want to cover any inheritance tax liability. It should only be used where the value of the gift exceeds the current nil rate band, or where the client has made gifts in the previous 7 years that have already exceeded the nil rate band.
Our cover offers many features, including:
- Premiums start from just £7 a month (or £84 a year).
- The amount of cover reduces each year over the 7 year term.
- Guaranteed premiums – your client’s premiums are fixed and won’t change.
- Flexible payment options means your client can choose to pay their premiums monthly, quarterly, annually or as a single one-off payment.
Product profile
With a cash lump-sum that covers any inheritance tax liability, your clients can rest assured their gifted asset won’t have tax implications for their beneficiary.Learn more about eligibility, target market, risks and limits in our Gift Inter Vivos product profile:
- We won’t pay a claim if your client dies as a result of intentionally taking their own life in the first 12 months of the policy.
- If your client stops paying their premiums, their cover may end.
There is no cash value at any time.
Your client can’t change the plan once it’s been issued.
- Clients can only take a policy on a single life basis – either on their own life, or the life of another.
- To apply, your client must be living permanently in the UK, and aged between 17 and 79.
How decreasing pay-out works
The sum we pay out on death reduces over the term of the plan, in-line with inheritance tax liability. Here’s how it works:
