Who should you choose to be your attorney? 🤔

No one knows what’s going to happen in the future, and it can be reassuring to plan ahead to make provision for yourself and your family if anything were to happen to you.

Making a will is a useful first step, but you may also consider making a Power of Attorney in case at any point you become incapable of managing your own affairs through age, illness or accident.

Making lifetime gifts to reduce the value of your estate on death for inheritance tax purposes is a useful way to preserve wealth down the generations.

HMRC allows a variety of exemptions including an annual allowance of £3,000, gifts worth less than £250, wedding gifts, gifts to help with living costs and gifts from surplus income.

Keep yourself safe from financial harm.

We have developed resources for STEP's 'Spot the signs' campaign to help people spot the signs of financial abuse and help individuals protect themselves from this kind of abuse.

Keep yourself safe by:

☑️Exercising caution when a person is taking a new or unusual interest in your finances
☑️ Being cautious of unsolicited and unexpected calls, emails, texts or other contact
☑️If someone encourages you to make a new will, or to make a gift to them, make an appointment with a qualified professional advisor
