Pensions
Recent changes to pension legislation means that you have much more freedom and flexibility when accessing your pension benefits. We will help you understand the different options available about taking tax-fee cash, buying an income for life, or a combination of both. We also specialize in offering pension advice for employers (and their employees) and other business owners, directors etc. More information on company/employee/ business owner pensions can be found in the “Workplace” section of this website.
Investments
There are a wide range of investment options available to you, from stocks and bonds to mutual investment funds, depending on what financial goals you want to achieve, your timeframe for achieving these goals and your accepted level of risk. We will assess your attitude to risk before advising you of your investment options and support you in making the right choice to meet your own specific financial goals.
Inheritance Tax
Inheritance tax can cost families considerable financial loss in the event of the death of a loved one. We can advise you on legal ways to protect you and your family’s wealth, avoiding any unnecessary upset at an already difficult time.
Long Term Care
People often have to make sudden and unexpected decisions regarding their own, or a loved one’s long term care needs. A pre-established long term care plan can help ease the financial burden and stress if that time comes.
Trusts
A Trust can help you to decide exactly how your assets are distributed after your death and gives you some financial peace of mind. We will guide you through the range of trusts available to support your unique individual planning requirements.
