About the course

Welcome to this CPD course on Gifting. The course is designed to equip you with an understanding of the various allowances and exemptions when it comes to Gifting that can be used as effective estate planning tools.

  • Discover how gifting can be used in practice through different case studies and client scenarios
  • Understand how gifting can be used alongside other estate planning solutions such as Business Relief and Trusts
