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.

My background spans many years working with institutional clients, developing a strong foundation in investment markets, client servicing, and relationship management. I now apply that experience to personal financial planning, helping individuals and families navigate important financial decisions with confidence and clarity.

I provide clear, personalised, and regulated guidance across:
• Retirement planning, including pensions, SIPPs, and drawdown
• Investment management and long-term wealth planning
• Financial protection for individuals and families
• Ongoing holistic financial reviews as circumstances change

At Quilter, I’m proud to be part of a business that puts clients first and takes a long-term approach to investing and financial planning.

In my spare time I am an avid sports fan, especially football and F1. But the highlight of my day is taking my labrador for long walks in the countryside.
