How Equity Release Can Help Farmers Navigate Inheritance Tax Changes and Keep UK Farms Thriving

**Blog Summary: How Equity Release Can Help Farmers Navigate New Inheritance Tax Rules** The Labour government’s recent budget changes have introduced a 20% inheritance tax on farm estates over £1 million, placing additional financial strain on UK farmers. Historically shielded by Agricultural Property Relief, many farmers now face potential tax bills that could force them to sell off land or assets, jeopardising family farms and UK food security. Equity release offers a viable solution, allowing farmers to unlock property value, gift funds to their heirs tax-free (if they live for seven years post-gift), and reduce future inheritance tax liabilities. At My Later Life, we help farmers use equity release to protect their legacy, secure their family’s future, and keep UK farms thriving.

Why Equity Release and Later Life Mortgages are Essential Tools in Inheritance Tax Planning Under the New Labour Government

With the Labour government’s recent budget changes, inheritance tax planning has become even more essential, especially with the inclusion of unused pensions in estate values starting in 2027. These changes mean that, upon death, many pensions could be subject to a 40% tax if the estate surpasses the nil-rate band. As a result, equity release and later life mortgages are now valuable tools for effective tax planning. Equity release enables homeowners to access the value of their property tax-free, providing an immediate way to gift funds to family members and reduce their estate’s taxable value. When these gifts are made more than seven years before death, they can be entirely exempt from inheritance tax. At My Later Life, we help clients navigate these changes by offering tailored equity release solutions. With rising property values, accessing home equity for tax-efficient inheritance planning has never been a better option for protecting family wealth.
