Estate Planning

Passing your wealth on to future generations

We will always consider the tax implications of our advice. However, any decisions should be made in the context of your overall financial plan, rather than to achieve a short-term tax benefit. We specialise in providing the very best in estate planning advice.

With the recent freezing of Inheritance tax thresholds, more and more families (and civil partnerships) are becoming liable to Inheritance Tax (IHT), yet it can be a mitigated tax.

IHT is no longer a concern just for the wealthy. It is a growing worry for many people, especially homeowners who have benefited from growth in the value of their properties.

Property is not the only asset that makes up a person’s estate. Your estate also includes: your contents and possessions, your savings and investments and any life insurance not in trust.

Over the years, the IHT thresholds have, in real terms, stealthily fallen. The threshold (nil rate band) has not kept pace with property inflation and as such, more and more people are falling into the trap of paying inheritance tax. IHT is payable at a flat rate of 40% on assets above the nil rate band. Unlike many other taxes though, there are plenty of things you can do now to make sure you pass as much of your wealth on to your family and friends, and not the taxman.

Planning your financial future as if it’s our own

This is not a meaningless slogan, thought up by marketing experts. It is genuinely how we work. When you become our client we effectively step into your shoes and ask ourselves constantly, ‘given these circumstances, what would we do in your position?’

This remains our long-term commitment to you and applies to all, whether you are a private or corporate client.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Happy clients are the bedrock of any business and ours is no exception.

My wife and I have been personal clients of JMA for all it’s 25 years. The cyclical nature of our economy has meant several periods of national financial turbulence and anxiety. Such a long association has enabled the soundness of the advice given, to be demonstrated by the performance achieved.

 

 

Trevor Phillips, Surrey

 

Having been badly let down by our previous adviser, and lost a lot of money because of his unprofessional self-interest, we were determined to appoint financial advisers who could provide a flexible service tailored to our individual needs. JMA have exceeded our expectations in all respects.
