Life Insurance Policies Trust
Life insurance policies can be "written into a trust", which means that if a claim is made, the insurance company pays out any successful claim to the beneficiaries named in the trust. This can mean that the proceeds do not form part of your asset and therefore are not subject to inheritance tax.
