Making a Will
The Financial Conduct Authority do not regulate will writing, inheritance tax planning, trusts and long term care planning.
If you don't make a Will, the law determines who will benefit from your Estate and Shares.
Will writing is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Will writing is not part of the Quilter Financial Planning offering and is offered in our own right. Quilter Financial Planning accept no responsibility for these aspects of our business.
If you have made a Will...Well done!
However is it up to date and relevant?
...does it say what you want it to say?
...does it protect your home from care costs?
...does it minimise your Inheritance Tax liability?

Trusts
The Financial Conduct Authority do not regulate Trusts, Long Term Care Planning and Inheritance Tax Planning.
Please take a few moments to consider the following questions:
If you total up the value of your own and your spouse/partner’s assets, including any insurance policies and death in service benefits, is the value above the nil rate band? (currently £325,000 and £650,000 for couples)
Are you concerned that if you go into care, your assets, especially your home may be lost to pay for your care?
Do you have ‘in-laws’ who you would not like to receive or gain control of your family assets?
Are you concerned that future divorces or separations in the family may dilute the assets that you have left for your children, grandchildren and future generations?
Have you left money to minors in the will that you would rather be managed by members of the family rather than a local solicitor or worse still, the Courts with the associated costs?
Have you left assets to any member of the family who receives Disabled Benefits from the state or other state benefits?
If you have answered yes to any of the above questions then a Trust may be the correct option for your estate.
