This rush is driven by new regulations from the Labour Party government and HMRC, which will see most unused pension funds and death benefits added to the value of estates for IHT purposes. Birmingham-based financial firm Wesleyan reports that nine out of ten financial advisers have witnessed a surge in accelerated pension drawdowns among their clients.
