Inheritance Tax Planning
At one time, Inheritance Tax was considered a tax on the wealthy. Times have changed and if your assets - including your house - total more than £325,000 your estate could be liable to tax of 40% of the excess, unless you have already undertaken planning.
Call us and take the first step to ensuring that your estate ends up in the hands of your intended beneficiaries rather than the taxman.
Life Assurance and Critical Illness Planning
Do you need life cover? Have you considered how your loved ones would manage if something were to happen to you and you didn't have life insurance? It has never been easier, or more cost-effective, to take out life cover. As specialist IFAs in the life cover market, we have secured massively discounted rates from the major UK life companies.
If you do not already have a protection plan in place, you will be surprised at just how cost-effective it can be.
If you have an existing policy, find out how much you could save on your premiums. You could even increase your cover at no extra cost.
