Six steps to sorting an inheritance for your loved ones
Future generations:In fact, a third of retirees reported having already gifted a substantial amount, £15,978 on average, to the loved ones as an 'early inheritance'. Nil rate bands are the amount you can pas on to loved ones without the need for them to pay inheritance tax. If you are able to, it may be advisable to live off other assets that you have in order to preserve this tax-free inheritance for your loved ones. Make the most of it: Dyall recommends using your tax-free gift allowance to pass on money to your loved ones.

Local elections 2024: The full results in maps and charts
Tomas DohertyFine Gael and Fianna Fáil performed better than many pollsters predicted in Friday’s local elections, while Sinn Féin failed to meet expectations after running a record number of candidates. In the map below you can compare this year's results with the 2019 election and get further detail on the vote share in your area. While Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael were pleased with results that exceeded their expectations, both did suffer losses. This election saw the combined vote share of the two main parties drop to historically low levels, reflecting the more fragmented political climate in Ireland. In the 2004 local election, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil secured 60 per cent of the first-preference vote share, compared to just 46 per cent this year.

European Parliament groups jostle for position after election results
The previous governing majority of the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP), centre-left Socialists and Democrats (S&D) and centrist group Renew is to remain intact, with a margin of about 40 votes to spare. Results from 26 EU countries show the three centre groupings won about 400 of the available 720 seats in the next European Parliament. The ballot marked the election of about 160 MEPs who belong to right-wing nationalist, populist, ultra-conservative, and far-right parties. At present, Ms Meloni’s party is one of the main players in the hard-right European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), which won 73 seats. Ms Le Pen’s expanded National Rally party is the main force in the far-right Identity and Democracy group, which won 58 seats.
