Why succession planning matters
- Protecting your loved ones: Succession planning allows you to ensure your family's financial security, providing for their needs and protecting their future.
- Avoiding disputes: Clear and comprehensive planning can minimise the potential for family disputes and disagreements over asset distribution.
- Minimising tax impact: Strategic succession planning can help reduce the burden of inheritance tax on your beneficiaries, preserving more of your estate for them.
- Charitable giving: Succession planning enables you to support causes you care about through charitable donations, leaving a positive impact on the charities that you care about.
- Business succession: If you own a business, proper estate planning ensures a smooth transition for your business partners or successors.
- Minimising inheritance tax: Inheritance tax can significantly affect the value of your estate passed on to your loved ones.
