Estate Planning faqs

Estate planning is crucial to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, minimising potential conflicts among heirs. Additionally, it allows you to plan for the financial well-being of your loved ones, addresses potential tax implications and provides a framework for managing your affairs in case of incapacity.

Estate Planning is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Key documents include a will, which outlines how your assets should be distributed, and a durable power of attorney, appointing someone to make financial decisions and medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to.

Estate planning involves strategies to minimise the impact of inheritance taxes on your estate. This may include setting up trusts, gifting strategies, or utilising exemptions and deductions. Understanding these aspects can significantly reduce the tax burden on your heirs and preserve more of your wealth.

It is never too early to start estate planning. Whether you’re just starting your career, getting married, or approaching retirement, having a plan in place ensures that your wishes are known and can adapt as your life circumstances change. Regular reviews of your estate plan are recommended to account for changes in assets, family dynamics and applicable laws.
