What's your legacy plan?
Your legacy plan is your strategy to pass on your wealth, to your loved ones, in a tax-efficient way ensuring, when your life ends, your legacy lives on
It’s about helping you have a lasting impact for the benefit of the next generation of your family, after you’ve gone
It’s about deliberate actions that will compound, so that your efforts will make a difference 100 years from now
Do it right and it’ll positively impact your family, for generations to come..
We partner with you to preserve your family legacy
Your life on this earth will come to an end. That much is guaranteed. If you have wealth, there will be death duties. That’s guaranteed too. If you allow it
The problem exists, in plain sight, but the consequences will only reveal themselves after you’re gone
Likely, your family won’t truly know how much they have to be thankful to you for, until they have to pay tax on it
Only carefully crafted planning can go anywhere towards securing your legacy for your family. Measure twice, cut once..
Ann’s story
Ann held a mistaken belief that she’d somehow be exempt from the Inheritance Tax consequences to her family of taking no action to plan for her demise
Ann left a legacy of kindness and generosity, and to the tax authority she left 40% of her lifetime’s work
Ann has 3 children, we’ll call them O, M and G. She died. HMRC took 40% and O, M and G got 20% each. OMG!
‘I sat next to Ann Podmore on a school trip to Cleethorpes. She was left handed’ Ronnie Barker
Plan, be happy, get some normal
With legacy planning, we’re not all in the same boat, but we are in the same storm. Some have yachts, some canoes, others will drown. There is no magic pill
If family wealth preservation is an instinct you possess, then let’s talk. If you favour the tax authority, that’s cool, that’s your choice
Inheritance Tax is voluntary, we understand that. Some people seem to crave the unconditional approval of a government agency, we understand that too (but your children might want you to pump the brakes on that one.!)
Life is short and you never know when you’re going to run out of time. Most people leave it until they realise there’s less runway up ahead than there is behind..
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.!
Next Steps
We all have a limited amount of time on this earth and it will come to an end, that much is guaranteed. If you’ve created most anything of real value, there will be death duties, that’s guaranteed too..
We’ve created a legacy planning team who are thoroughly dedicated and possess a vast range of skills, insight and imagination
We work with clients who really care about their family, and want to pass on tax-efficiently to their children, the legacy they have spent their lifetime creating
If that’s you, you’re in the right place..
