Starting in April 2027, unused pension pots will be included as part of taxable estates. This significant change could mean that more estates will be subject to Inheritance Tax (IHT) from the 2027/28 fiscal year. For years, pensions have been a vital tool in inheritance planning, allowing individuals to provide for loved ones while minimising tax exposure. However, with this new regulation, many families may face unexpected IHT liabilities, potentially reducing the wealth passed on to the next generation. If you’re relying on your pension as part of your inheritance strategy, it’s crucial to review your retirement and estate planning to ensure your goals remain intact. We can help you navigate this change effectively.

It’s not unusual to end up with several pensions over your working life. Having pension pots with different providers can make it difficult to keep track of how they’re performing, and how much you’re paying in charges.
What to do with them all can be a difficult decision, as there’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. For advice on any aspect of your pension arrangements, including whether combining your pension is right for you, please get in touch

The ‘great wealth transfer’ is firmly underway, which inevitably heightens the need for carefully considered intergenerational financial planning, as wealth continues to flow down the generations.

Each generation will clearly have their own views on legacy and planning for the benefit of future generations. Quite often, beneficiaries are conscious of the need to reshape and reposition their wealth in order to continue the family legacy, while taking a more holistic approach to the role accumulation of wealth plays in their lives.

Careful planning will be required if families are to successfully transfer wealth in a way that makes fair provision for all generations. Let’s navigate the transition smoothly

Have you developed a retirement strategy yet? Whether you're nearing retirement, or you still have years of your working life ahead, careful planning is essential to help secure financial stability and peace of mind when you stop working.

Younger individuals have a longer investment horizon, whereas those nearer to retirement need to try and protect their pension pot from any market unpredictability.

It’s important to ensure your financial plans continue to be aligned to your risk tolerance and personal financial goals. That’s why regular reviews of your financial plans are vital for a sound retirement strategy.

When you look at your pension pot value – do you just see numbers on a screen? There’s many things you might want to consider when it comes to your pension pot, like:

- Do you understand the underlying investments?

- Have you declared a beneficiary or beneficiaries on your expression of wishes?

- Are you still in the same fund from when your pension was set up?

- Will your contributions help you achieve the retirement you’re dreaming of?

- Did you know that you could make single lump sum payments?

Lots of the questions you may not have the answer to and that’s ok, because I can help you with them. Remember it’s not just digits on a screen, it’s your financial future.
