Estate planning is all about protecting your assets, making sure that your family are looked after when you're gone. As part of our ongoing financial planning service, we'll make sure your assets are passed to who you want, limiting the amount that goes to the taxman while we're at it.

We know how important it is that your loved ones are looked after when you pass away, and we're here for them for every step of the journey.
Is your Will up to date, and do you have a Power of Attorney? We'll look at your Pension Death Benefits, any Inheritance Tax liabilities and if you would benefit from setting up a Trust.
After reviewing your existing estate planning, we'll recommend changes to benefit you and your beneficiaries. After discussing these changes with you, we'll put your finalised plan in place.
You will receive meetings with your adviser at least annually to review your existing plans and make sure they still align with the needs of you and your beneficiaries.
Having an up to date Will is important for any financial plan, which is why we offer this service to our clients.

Growing your wealth is obviously important, but it's also key to think about what happens to that wealth when you pass away.
Planning your estate properly with Wills and Trusts can make the whole process easier for your beneficiaries, as well as reducing their tax burden.
Your financial plan will make sure your estate is properly planned and that your loved ones have a financial partner to ease some of the stress when you pass away.
If you want a better view of what your future could be, we'll have a chat over a cup of coffee in our Durham office and work out if we can add any value to your financial picture.
