Leave it to Loved Ones Service
Leaving your legacy
Planning for a future which you are not part of can make life a lot easier for your loved ones when it comes to inheritance.
Knowing how’s best to secure your life savings for loved ones and ensure HMRC get no more than they are entitled to along with considerations of when the best time to act can lead to a fog of confusion.
At Chasebridge Wealth Management, we understand how important it is to some people to leave a lasting legacy for their loved ones. The team at Chasebridge Wealth Management will help you to navigate the financial landscape, ensuring financial security is in place for those left behind.
Our Leave It to Loved Ones service will see our expert team take an overview of your financial situation. We will discover the details, that with a little tweaking, could help minimise the risk and maximise the sum you can leave to those you hold most dear.
Trusts, gift plans and wills are all areas we assess to ensure that your wishes are met.
The writing of a will involves the referral to a service that is separate and distinct to those offered by St. James's Place. Wills along with Trusts are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
