Inheritance tax.

I’ve acquired wealth, I want to make sure my kids keep as much as possible.

There is definitely something visceral about the desire to pass something on to reflect your life's achievements. They say inheritance tax is the most hated tax despite relatively few people paying it.
 
Me don't got no peep to leave owt.
Ideas? Serious question. There's enough for dividends to keep her-indoors out of doors - she's that type, while she's fit.
The cost of a care home in a couple of decades' time could be eyewatering but I'm assuming there is/will be enough for that.
Some of her siblings have kids we never see, and that's all.

The capital involved isn't astronomical, a 4 bed detached in London sort of figure covers a good part of it. If/when a person doesn't live in it that becomes available. I mean in round round numbers , 6% divi on £1m is over £1k a week. My mother's Home is about £1.2k iirc.
 
How can I pay anything AFTER my death?

No person normally pays inheritance tax.

The dead person has already gone and won't miss it.

The beneficiary receives the bequest after tax has been paid.

In some circumstances they may get an asset with tax owing, to be paid within a few years, if it was impossible or undesirable to sell the asset to raise cash to pay it
