suggestions of a good book or other to learn about investments etc

Scarlets_mum

Morning

I would like to understand more about investments and inheritance tax and how to organise things to reduce any IHT bill etc etc. I want to have an understanding so I am not completly in the dark when I discuss this with my IFA/solicitor. Is there a recommended book I should get that lays out the basics?
Thanks for your help

Ideas here but as the video suggests specialist advice will be needed.

Avoid Inheritance Tax With This Plan - YouTube

How To Save Inheritance Tax With Trusts - YouTube

Sorry, but when people ask for books, why reply with videos?
I absolutely *hate* watching 'instruction videos' when things can be learnt much quicker through reading....

And sorry, Scarlets_mum (note: just coincidence, she is NOT my mum, haha), I don't have any reccs

I agree about videos, I find them such a slow way to learn. But I wouldn't choose a book either, as they can quickly become out of date. 

@Scarlets_mum Just ask all your questions on here.

If it comes regulation, taxation, effective way of investing and minimising tax, pensions, many people could help. Also people could easily check it directly what the regulation is saying. But when comes to strategies, methods in investing, it is entirely a different stories. 

The above links also contain videos. Regarding video clips, you tubers, personal channels, I personally prefer to listen to authoritative unbiased Finance, Investment channels, featuring unbiased opinion from strategists, experts and/or proven investors rather than random people on the internet.
