Estate and inheritance planning is how you do that deliberately rather than leaving it to chance. It brings together how your assets are held, what happens to them, and how much of what you leave behind is affected by tax. It can be a difficult subject to sit down with, so a good planner makes it clear and manageable and takes the weight of it off you.

What you can give away, when you can give it, and how doing so affects your own position later.

Protecting the family home

“What actually happens to the house after we’ve gone?”

Usually the largest part of an estate, and the part people worry over. We set the options out.
