A letter to the 13th Duke of Halstead on his estate planning
The Gentlemen, Guy Ritchie’s hit new Netflix series, sees the 13th Duke of Halstead inherit his father’s estate, only to discover that he's actually inherited a criminal empire. The family’s lawyer is seemingly unaware of the concept of inheritance tax and it appears that the deceased Duke would've benefitted from some better estate planning advice before his death. In this tongue and cheek letter to the late Duke, Alison Chaloner considers the advice she would've given had he instructed the Mills & Reeve private client team before his death.
