Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, travelling to the sunshine, and playing tennis. I have a Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning from the Chartered Insurance Institute and am registered with the Financial Conduct Authority.

An adviser’s insight

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.

Naomi

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I wanted to be able to have clarity around managing my finances, including investments. I also needed to set up a pension.

How has Sarah helped you?
Sarah has helped me to understand and set up a pension, understand my investments and plan for the future.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes. I have much more clarity around my finances now and feel much calmer and in control.

Sam

I’m very happy with the advice received, the time taken and the manner in which that advice was delivered.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
A combination of optimising tax returns, taking advantage of allowances along with optimising of an investment portfolio strategy with new proceeds.

How has Sarah helped you?
Sarah was very helpful in both identifying tax allowance that had not been taken advantage of and for helping set up a new investment portfolio and strategy with new proceeds to optimize returns.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
It is early days but the money is being put to use and the returns have so far been in line or above expectations.
