A solicitor drafts. An accountant calculates. An adviser invests. Here, they're all in the same practice.

Estate planning sits between three disciplines — legal, tax and asset protection — and most families are left to join them up alone. We do it for them. One strategy across all three, so you understand every decision in front of you and your family keeps what you’ve spent a lifetime building.

You'll deal with one adviser, working to a standard set and audited by our TEP-led technical team. Most situations are straightforward and stay that way. When yours isn't, the specialists are already here — so nothing is referred out, queued behind someone else's diary, or explained a second time.

The Three Disciplines

Legal
Tax
Asset Protection

One practice, one standard, one plan.

The cost of doing nothing

40%

to HMRC - Government charges

Everything above your nil-rate band is taxed at 40%. On a £700,000 estate, that can mean a six-figure bill your family has to find before they even inherit anything.

£325k

Your home is usually the problem

For most families the house is the single largest asset. How you own it matters as much as what it's worth — for the tax position, and for who ultimately ends up with it.

Nil

A will alone doesn't protect anything

A will says who gets what. It does nothing to reduce the tax, shelter the house, or protect an inheritance from divorce, creditors or care costs.

7 years

Waiting narrows your options

Almost every effective step has a timing requirement. The planning available to you at 60 is not the planning available to you at 85, and it isn't available at all once capacity is lost.

The framework

The Six Steps to Strategic Asset Protection

Every plan we build follows the same steps. It's the framework we'll walk you through on your first call, and the structure of the Protection Plan you'll receive.

How it works

  1. Eleven questions

    Plain English, about five minutes, online or over the phone. No jargon, no cost.

  2. Your Clarity Report

    Written for your circumstances and checked by our technical team before it reaches you.

  3. Talk it through

    As much or as little as your situation needs. Straightforward plans can be completed online.

  4. Protection Plan

    A tailored written recommendation, scope and fixed fee. You decide.

  5. Signing

    We handle the strategic documents drafting, and the entire journey for you, full peace of mind.

  6. Ongoing Support

    Life changes. We annually review the plan so it still works when it’s needed.

Fully digitised. Highly secure.

Everything we produce for you is created, signed off and stored digitally — encrypted, backed up, and available to you whenever you need it, without hunting through a drawer for a document you last saw in 2011. Your family will know exactly where everything is, and so will you.

Your Clarity Report

Not a quote. Not a brochure. Your situation, in writing.

Answer eleven questions and we'll send you a report written for your circumstances — what you're exposed to, what the allowances give you, and which of the Six Steps actually apply to you.
