Wills in Carnaby
Carnaby Wills often involve a working business: a unit on the Industrial Estate, a family trade, sometimes an inherited share in a Bridlington firm. Business Property Relief can pass a qualifying business to the next generation with little or no inheritance tax, within the £2.5 million cap on full relief that has applied since April 2026. A generic Will misses this. Aaron drafts for it.
