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.

Patrick's location

Bicester
Oxfordshire
United Kingdom

Patrick is based in Bicester and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.

I previously worked in the investment and pension industries, at investment management firms, investment consultancies and a ratings agency. More recently I decided I wanted to help people individually with their finances so I retrained as a financial planner.

I realise that for some people financial planning can seem stressful and complicated, while other people may simply not have the time to look after their finances. I also know that financial planning isn’t ‘one size fits all’. My aim is to listen to you, understand your needs and build a long-term relationship based on trust and transparency. I want to help you achieve your financial goals as well as making sure you’re well prepared for any unexpected events that life may throw at you.

I live near Bicester with my wife and daughter. When I’m not working I like to go to the gym, run and ride my bike as well as spend time with my family.
