Graphic for the Estate Planning campaign

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.

Holistic planning

Establishing and reviewing trusts, complete personal risk management planning, short- and long-term savings and investments.

Pensions

Expert advice to help provide comfort in your retirement.

Protection

Whole of life and term assurance protection, private medical arrangements, critical illness insurance.

General Insurance

Home contents insurance, buildings insurance.

My emphasis is on building and maintaining long-term relationships with my clients and providing them with a source of trusted advice as their financial needs evolve over the years.
 
The value of pensions and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested.
 
Transferring out of a Final Salary scheme is unlikely to be in the best interests of most people.
 
Tax treatment varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change.
Trusts and Estate planning are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
