Planning for your retirement is really important and in particular as the Government is forever extending the age that they will provide a government pension.

You can think of "your estate" almost like a separate bank account. On the credit side you have everything you own in terms of money, property and possessions, eg cash, shares, real estate and cars. Then, on the debit side there is everything you owe ie outstanding balance on credit cards, mortgage etc.
Having a will is not estate planning.
An estate plan covers all aspects of the administration of your estate and associated matters. Whilst this is not a nice topic to think about, creating a plan is vital to ensure that your wishes are honoured and to prevent disagreements between your relatives. Making a will, valuing your estate, planning who will take over your business (if you own one) and creating a lasting power of attorney are all important parts of your estate plan.
We can put you in touch with our specialist partner to ensure your estate is planned for correctly.
HMRC describes Capital Gains Tax as a tax on the profit when you sell (or 'dispose of') something (an 'asset') that has increased in value. It's the gain you make that's taxed, not the amount of money you receive. For example: You bought a painting for £5,000 and sold it later for £25,000 you are taxed on the £20,000 profit.
