Inheritance tax changes are starting to reach further into pensions, and the knock-on effect could be family disputes. Under proposed rules, pension schemes may be allowed to withhold up to 50% of a pension pot while inheritance tax is assessed.

@FT That might sound administrative but in practice, it could mean:
• Longer delays for beneficiaries
• Pressure on executors
• Greater uncertainty during probate
• Families disagreeing over money at an already emotional time

New figures obtained by @twmsolicitors show probate caveat applications rose 12% year-on-year, reaching 11,589 cases. A caveat can temporarily block probate when there are concerns around a will, executors, or inheritance disputes.

@TWMSolicitors When you add existing probate delays into the mix, it becomes even harder for families trying to move forward after a bereavement. This is why convos around estate planning need to happen earlier, & why access to liquidity during probate is becoming a far bigger issue.

Delays in probate aren’t just frustrating, they’re financially damaging.
Families are being forced to pay inheritance tax before they can even access estate funds, with interest charges mounting and cases taking months, sometimes years to resolve.

Our role is simple, provide fast, specialist funding so executors and beneficiaries aren’t stuck in that gap:
- Access liquidity before probate completes
- Avoid forced asset sales or personal financial strain
- Keep cases progressing, not stalling

Probate was once a relatively predictable process. Executors submitted an application, waited a matter of weeks, and then distributed the estate. Today, that expectation rarely reflects reality.

@thetimes In many cases, taking the property instead of pension income results in asset-rich but income-poor settlements - leaving divorcees financially exposed in retirement.
👥 Reports have revealed that over half of UK adults are unaware that pensions can be included in divorce settlements.

🗞 Coverage in @TheTimes has reported that many divorcees prioritise keeping the family home, without realising that their ex-spouse’s pension is often their most valuable asset for long-term financial stability.
