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.

Investments

Wealth management advice to make your money work as hard as it can for you, including making the most of any tax breaks available.

Pensions

Protection

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

Income Protection

Permanent health insurance to provide a regular income should you be unable to work due to illness or injury.

Business Services & Protection

Commercial mortgages/remortgages, workplace pension and employee benefits. Commercial mortgages are by referral only.

How do I do this?
I put my clients' interests first and get to know what they want out of life; what their financial goals are and how I can help realise them.
 
Typical things that clients need to consider:
  • When can I afford to stop working?
  • Can I afford to buy my own home?
  • Can I help my children buy their first home?
  • Can we do anything about our potential inheritance tax bill?
  • Are my savings safe and getting the most suitable return?
  • What will happen to my family in the event of a catastrophe?
I understand that financial needs change, and therefore, I will always communicate with my clients in a way that is clear, fair, and not misleading. I believe it is essential to have an agreed contract strategy to allow my clients to discuss any change in circumstances or future aspirations on a regular basis.
 
My clients achieve peace of mind by taking steps to:
 
  • Ensure they're never paying too much for their mortgage
  • Protect current and future lifestyle and maximise opportunities to accumulate and preserve wealth
  • Enjoy the fruits of their investments when the time comes
 
I find it hugely rewarding when my clients can go about their daily lives knowing that they are well-protected and that their life's goals are realistic and being planned for financially.
 
When I am not working, I am a big supporter of the local triathlon club, so you'll often see me supporting my husband and close friends. I have also recently qualified as a local technical officer with British Triathlon so I also get involved in marshalling and supervising races in all weathers, cheering everybody on!
