Protection

“I’m too busy with work and family life
to think about the implications.”

We will sit and have the conversation with you to establish
what your estate and life means to you.


Estate planning concerns

“So you don’t think you need to do anything to mitigate Inheritance Tax?”

“Inheritance Tax is only paid by the rich and anyway all my assets will pass to my spouse.”

“I have considerable assets but need the income to live well.”

“It all sounds very complicated to me.”

“It‘s not an issue as my estate can pay any tax owing.”

“Can’t I give some of my capital to my children whilst I am still alive?”

“I have taken some life assurance policies so I am alright surely?”

Food for thought

  • Inheritance Tax is in essence a voluntary tax as there are many steps one can take to mitigate its effects.
  • First it is essential to make a will to ensure the benefits of your Estate pass to those you choose, as opposed to those chosen by the State.
  • Then make a Will Trust so you can benefit from utilising the nil rate band for both spouses, which could save you in excess of £100,000 in unnecessary tax payments.
  • Where possible ensure all insurance policies are written in Trust. Protect the value of your Estate and do not increase the tax burden.
  • Trusts can be arranged to safeguard your assets, but significant changes in the budget 2006 have restricted choice.

Protection, clear as a picture!

We will use our experience and expert knowledge of the legal and financial aspects of the pensions and investments industry to design a bespoke protection plan for you. The protection we create will then be guarded, closely scrutinised and maintained so long as we are working for you, so you can rest assured your pension and investments are being looked after.
