When a client’s unused pension pot moves inside their taxable estate, it doesn’t just trigger an IHT conversation- it opens up a much broader picture.
Wills that were perfectly structured previously may now be working against your clients’ wishes. Families without lasting powers of attorney are exposed in ways they haven’t considered. And clients who plan to draw down their pensions faster to manage their IHT position need someone to ask the question many don’t want to be asked – what about care?
Whether you want to develop a full estate planning proposition or simply refer clients for specialist support on areas such as will writing, Lasting power of Attorney, Probate and estate administration, trust planning and more BTWC can help.
My Care Hub is here to support your clients through their full care journey, with clear, layered, guidance, while at the same time supporting you with your approach to Vulnerability and Consumer Duty.
