Have you considered the importance of estate planning?

Many people don’t realise that inheritance tax (IHT) can apply once your estate goes over £325,000, although some people may also benefit from an additional residence nil rate band when passing on a home to direct descendants. This includes property, money, investments, and everyday belongings, and from April 2027, unused pension savings may also form part of your estate for inheritance tax. This can affect how much of your wealth is ultimately passed on to the people who matter most.

Estate planning helps ensure your wishes are followed and that as much of your estate as possible passes to the people you choose. However, the rules around inheritance tax can be complex and lots of people don’t understand how allowances apply or what their tax position will be.

That’s where I can help. I can help you to get a clear picture of the value of your taxable estate, explore ways to manage or reduce any tax liability and put a long-term plan in place that fits your goals and circumstances.

If you’d like to take control of your legacy, let’s talk about how I can support you.

I am a highly dedicated and experienced financial professional with a deep-rooted passion for helping individuals and families achieve their financial goals. With over two decades in the professional services industry, my journey began on the fast-paced trading floors of Lehman Brothers and J.P. Morgan, where I gained invaluable exposure to global markets and developed a robust understanding of financial dynamics. Professional Credentials My academic foundation in finance was driven by a genuine desire to help others manage their wealth effectively. I hold a Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning, equipping me with an in-depth understanding of UK financial regulations, compliance, and strategic planning.
