A good way of undercutting the Reform vote though – have them killed off legally and strip them of their assets. All of their evil has a purpose.
Tell your children that of course you’ll lend them money but it must be secured by a charge over their house. I wonder whether people do that? I know I would. Businesses can go bankrupt, you know.
You say it will.
I’d say older people being manipulated to hand cash to family members has been occurring since time immemorial. There’s enough novels been written around it. But it doesn’t mean people actually do it.
It occurs. Maybe I should have done a bit of manipulating. My father was quite wealthy when he died. Most of that was through inheritance, so they’d been some stonking death duties paid. The wealth was accumulating because income was greater than his needs. Since I was only son, it was a given I’d inherit. The sensible thing would have him to have started gifting & reduce wealth to needs over a period wouldn’t have attracted taxation. As it was, his estate paid more stonking IHT It’s sickening to think how much money the taxman has had out of us over the years. I’ve arranged my affairs so they’ll get zilch.
