You’ve earned it – but do you know how to look after it? Good wealth management is more than just about investing wisely. It’s about taking steps to protect your wealth and ensuring that it benefits your loved ones. Threats to your wealth and estate planning can materialise at any age, whether it’s protecting your assets from co-habitees, the tax man or on divorce, or ensuring that they pass as you wish after your death. Often it’s the busiest business and career women that are the least prepared and yet have the most to lose!

If your wealth and estate planning is overdue a review or you need some up-to-the-minute guidance then this seminar is for you. We will be looking at key estate planning tools and tips to get your house in order, such as:

• Pre-nuptial agreements – do they work?
• Essential equity protection for co-habitees and capital gains tax planning for your home(s)
• What everyone ought to know about the devastating effects of incapacity and how powers of attorney can protect your wealth and
• The best Will for singles and marrieds and how Wills can protect your assets from 40% inheritance tax

It’s a seminar that you can’t afford to miss.
