My wife and I are both 56 and in good health. Our house is worth around £250,000 and mortgage free. I was wondering if selling my kids 49% of the house would be a good way of ensuring they get something from the estate in the future.

In our wills we leave everything to each other if one of us dies and in the terrible scenario where we both died, we would leave everything to the children. As it stood before the Budget, they would have been able to have the house, our savings and pensions without losing any money to inheritance tax. Would our children now lose 40 per cent of our pensions to inheritance tax?

I would like to transfer ownership of my three-bedroom house, which is currently worth approximately £550,000 to my nephew and nieces (in equal proportions) to benefit from the seven year rule and avoid inheritance tax. I would need however to rent out three rooms and live in one room myself to afford the rent. Would this mean that I am still benefiting from the house such that it would still be a 'gift with reservation' for inheritance tax purposes?

My husband and I are both in our mid 70s, in good health and without any financially worries. I thought if we enjoyed family holidays each year and we paid the cost, this would be a way of our savings going to the family, but would this be seen as inheritance tax avoidance?

Seeking financial advice can be a daunting prospect. Many people are under the impression that financial advice is too expensive, or simply 'not for someone like me'. But you don't have to be a millionaire investor for financial advice and planning to be worth your time and money - and the lifetime value that you get can vastly outweigh the initial cost.

Over many years we have made equal regular gifts to our two daughters up to the inheritance tax annual exemption. But we are considering reducing our potential £45,000 inheritance tax bill by making additonal regular annual gifts from our joint current bank account. How would this work and is it based on joint income?

in January 2018, Philip Hammond asked the Office of Tax Simplification to carry out a review of inheritance tax - its verdict was damning. It painted a picture of a total mess of a tax, which despite only being paid by a small percentage of estates manages to create an administration nightmare for many more and where the merely rich pay a higher effective rate than the really rich.

A relative passed away last year and left me and my son their bungalow in a London suburb. I have inherited 75% and my son 25%. We don't want to be landlords so initially planned to sell the home - but I've recently read about how in-demand bungalows are and am wondering if we should wait for its value to increase. Is that a good idea, and if not, what should we do with the cash we get from selling it?

One option for those planning to leave sizeable wealth to their loved ones, is to create a family investment company to manage and pass on their wealth to the next generation.

In a few months I'm due an inheritance of £200,000 from my dad's estate and I have no idea what to do with it. I have my home which is mortgage free, I have no workplace pension and I don't work, I'll need about £70,000 so that I can live and pay bills until I can have my state pension in six years' time. I don't want to put the money in anything risky. I would really appreciate your help.

I own my own property and live on my own. The property is worth around £325k. I am due to inherit around £250k from my father, and I currently have a pension pot at £113k in an accumulation fund and £186k in a drawdown fund. I am currently healthy so hopefully this won't be in the foreseeable future, however like to plan ahead. What is the best way to pass my wealth on to my daughter?

I have no dependents and have paid off my mortgage. I am now 65 and hope to retire next year when I will receive a full state pension as well as an NHS pension of around £4,000 per year. I currently have £180,000 in savings - mainly cash Isas and premium bonds. How can I get a monthly payout from this without eating too much into my savings pot, and what is the best way to make sure that my money is safe?

Barely a week passes without mention of the powerfully appealing phrase 'early retirement' - on social media and news websites, and among bloggers and podcasters. Escaping the rat race has always held appeal but the allure appears to be growing and becoming more intense. I checked on Google Trends, just to check the rise is real. And yes, the number of searches for 'retire early' has risen three-fold in a decade. At the sharp extreme end of the 'retire early' movement is the FIRE brigade. Coined by bloggers, the acronym emerged in the aftermath of the 2008 banking crisis and captured the aspiration of many young workers who wanted Financial Independence and to Retire Early. They still do, the Google data tells us.

I'm 77 and have a £70,000 a year final salary pension from an employer that I worked for 30 years but after retiring I also set up my own business which makes about £50,000 a year. I would like to start giving some money away, as I realise a large chunk of my estate will end up facing inheritance tax. I should have done more of this earlier - as time may not be on my side here - what can I do?
