Succession planning & tax optimisation

Deminor NXT > Services > Wealth > Succession planning & tax optimisation

One of the most valuable legacies you can bequeath to your heirs is a tax-efficient inheritance. This is particularly relevant in Belgium, where inheritance taxes can be substantial. Without proactive measures, legal stipulations dictate the allocation of assets and the tax implications for your heirs. Unfortunately, this often results in less-than-ideal outcomes.

 

By leveraging tools such as a will, pre-emptive gifting, stipulations within your marriage contract, and other strategies, you can not only mitigate the inheritance tax burden on your estate during your lifetime but also orchestrate the distribution of your assets. This approach ensures that your resources reach those heirs who will derive optimal value from them at their respective life stages.

Questions you may be asking yourself

How can I transfer my (family) business and my assets in a tax-efficient way? And how do I ensure that the control and management of my (family) business ends up with the right person(s)?
How do I maintain control after the transfer?
Who will manage my assets in case I become incapacitated or die?
What matters should I arrange now so that my loved ones are protected in case of unexpected events?
How do I avoid high inheritance tax for my family members? And how do I ensure that the right assets from my estate end up with the right person(s)?

Deminor NXT is ready to guide you through the transfer of your assets to your heirs.

By considering every step you take during your life, we help you organise, structure and transfer your wealth in an informal, open and understandable way.

Situations you may find yourself in

You will retire within a few years. You wish to leave your business to your children in a tax-friendly manner, but still wish to retain control for a few years.
Your eldest child is in a steady relationship and plans to live with his/her partner. You therefore want to give your child a boost with a donation but want to avoid the possibility that your child-in-law, after a relationship break-up, can claim that donation.
You are getting married for the second time and both your new partner and you already have children from a previous relationship. You want to protect your new partner, but not at the expense of your own children's inheritance rights.
In case of unforeseen circumstances preventing you from managing your assets, you desire your spouse, and subsequently, your children, to have the ability to oversee them through a care proxy.
You wish to gift a property to your children, partner or family, but you want to avoid the higher, progressive tax brackets as much as possible.
You are concerned about the 'suspect period' following a bank donation or indirect gift and aim to safeguard your inheritance position.
