I am married have 2 sons a house and investments that total more than the IHT threshold.

My aim is (after 7 years) to "on paper" own no assets or investments - effectively handing over my assets to my 2 sons.

I would like to have an agreement in place by which I can
a) receive an income from the inveetments
b) have access to funds should I need them

Does anybody know of a framework, possibly using promissory notes that I could use to avoid excessive IHT and income tax on the money I receive?
