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 have over 20 years of industry experience, including working for one of South Africa’s largest financial service providers, where I supported over 250 clients across all wealth levels. I believe financial planning is for everyone - no matter the size of their savings or pension.

My holistic approach focuses on individuals and families, empowering them through education to set clear priorities, build confidence, and achieve their financial goals with a deeper understanding of their overall financial picture. I’m passionate about helping individuals and families of all wealth levels make informed decisions, mitigate overpaying tax through efficient strategies, and build confidence in their financial future.

My focus is on education, clarity, and empowering clients to achieve lasting financial wellbeing.
