An adviser’s insight

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.

More about me

Our financial lives are full of big questions: How much is enough? Is the life you dream of living achievable? Is the life you live now true to your values?

I approach financial planning differently by making your future lifestyle the centre of our work together. We start with your story - where you’ve come from, where you are today, and where you want to go. From there, I create a clear, understandable financial plan designed to guide you towards your goals. Financial products may play a role, but only if they are necessary to help you achieve what really matters.

The plan itself is always at the heart of what I do. To ensure you remain on track, I encourage all my clients to commit to annual reviews. These reviews allow us to update your plan, make adjustments where needed, and give you confidence that you and your loved ones are on course to live the life you aspire to.

Outside of work, I’m a proud parent to three sons and owner of a loyal dog - the only family member who never asks for money.
