Introduction

By Ima Jackson-Obot

Coming up with a plan to help your client manage money after they die is a big decision. 

Your client will not have to deal with any fallout among beneficiaries, but ensuring that everything is set up properly will give your client the control to leave their assets to exactly who they want.

It will also help to bring some peace of mind.

This guide will explore how to set up an estate properly, how to pass on business interests, how to pass on a pension and how to ensure that trust wishes are kept.

It is worth 60 minutes of CPD.
