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.

Financial Services and giving advice has changed quite a great deal over recent times, the world and its economic differences have made financial advice even more important and relevant.

I have worked in Financial Services all my life, starting out working for a firm of Chartered Accountants, so I have an ability to read accounts, and understand their contents. Then I moved into banking, working at a number of local branches till 1990, and soon after getting married in 1989, I felt the need to offer Financial Advice to both Corporate & Retail clients. I worked for a number of financial advice firms and more recently Quilter Financial Advisers, who I would say is the leading financial advice firms in the market to-day.

I am a family person with two grown up children and a loving wife, the purpose of unity and many years in the making. A financial plan is a contract between two or more people who set their sights on a target and look to strive towards its objectives. I can help you set those plans in place with Cash Flow modelling and providing holistic advice and on-going advice every year.
