What exactly is ‘later life’ financial planning?

Typically later life planning starts anytime from retirement onwards. As you can see from the services we offer, we are here to assist you with retirement and pension planning, investment management, long-term care planning and estate planning which includes everything from inheritance tax and trust advice to wills & power of attorney work, probate and estate administration.

What makes us different?

Our Local, Old Fashioned, Face to Face Service

We pride ourselves in delivering the old-fashioned, local, face to face service that you just don’t tend to come across anymore. Especially in the new post-COVID pandemic world.

In our view, people in later life, especially those with complex financial and legal decisions, require advice that is delivered face to face, in a comfortable relaxed way, where every effort is made to account for, and understand, each individual’s unique situation. Advice should then be delivered in an accessible, clear and straightforward manner.

The importance of face to face advice is equally true when advising attorneys, representatives, trustees or simply close relatives of an elderly person. As an adviser, it is critical to understand fully the extended family dynamics and have advice delivered in a professional, objective way taking into account those family complexities.
