Estate planning under UK law
Put your wishes in the right hands.
A Non-FISICS Estate Distribution Plan is for a person whose assets, family and intended beneficiaries are entirely within one country.
What does this service involve?
The plan is designed to give confidence that, on death, the estate can pass to the people and causes intended, in the proportions and manner intended, using the wills, nominations, ownership structures and estate-administration rules of that single country.
List
List the assets and liabilities within that country that would form part of the estate.
Clarify
Clarify the intended beneficiaries within that single-country position and how assets should be divided.
Coordinate
Coordinate wills, nominations, ownership structures and estate liquidity with appropriate advisers in that country.
Review
Review the plan after major family, asset or legal changes.
Which best describes you today?
You may be considering this because your circumstances have changed, you're planning ahead, or you simply want greater clarity.
You've built up assets you want to pass on properly
You have property, investments or savings and want to know they will reach the people you choose.
Your assets may not pass as you expect
You’re not completely sure that your current arrangements would leave your assets with the people you intend.
An inheritance has made you think about your own estate
Receiving money or assets yourself has made you think more seriously about what you will eventually leave behind.
Your family circumstances need careful planning
You have step-children, a blended family or other family relationships that make straightforward planning less straightforward.
What could happen without a plan?
More of your estate could go to tax
Without the right planning, inheritance tax could take a significant share of what you have spent years building.
Your assets may not reach the people you choose
If your arrangements are unclear or out of date, your estate may not be passed on in the way you intended.
Your assets can affect each other
Your pension, property, investments and other assets can all be treated differently, making the overall position harder to understand.
Your options become more limited over time
Planning earlier gives you more choices. Once decisions need to be made after your death, those choices are no longer yours to make.
