Powers of Attorney (PoA) are crucial for managing your affairs when you are unable to do so yourself. This legal document grants another person the authority to act on your behalf in various matters, including financial, health, and general welfare. At Continuum Wealth, we guide you through the process of integrating Powers of Attorney into your estate plans. While we do not draft Powers of Attorney ourselves, we refer clients to trusted solicitors who can.
Key Points:
Probate is the judicial process by which your will is validated and your estate is administered. A well-prepared estate plan can facilitate a smooth probate procedure, minimising complications and ensuring your wishes are carried out efficiently. Continuum Wealth offers guidance through each stage of estate planning and the probate process, helping you understand what to expect and how to prepare.
Strategic estate planning can significantly reduce the inheritance tax (IHT) burden on your estate. At Continuum Wealth, we offer expert advice and detailed IHT calculations to help you understand and manage potential tax liabilities. Our goal is to ensure that more of your estate is preserved for your beneficiaries.
Trusts can be a powerful tool in estate planning, providing flexibility, control, and potential tax benefits. While Continuum Wealth does not set up trusts directly, we refer clients to specialised solicitors who can. Once established, we offer expert investment management services to grow and protect the assets within the trust.
A well-drafted will is fundamental to any estate plan, specifying how your assets should be distributed and who should manage the process. Continuum Wealth collaborates with solicitors to ensure you have a comprehensive and legally sound will that reflects your wishes.

Trusts are a vital part of estate planning, offering benefits such as asset protection, tax efficiency, and control over how and when your assets are distributed. They can be tailored to meet various needs and circumstances, providing flexibility and security for your beneficiaries.
You should review and update your estate plan regularly, especially after significant life changes such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or changes in financial status. Regular updates ensure that your estate plan remains current and effective.
Effective estate planning can reduce the inheritance tax (IHT) burden on your estate. This involves using tax-efficient strategies such as gifting, trusts, and maximising available tax reliefs. Proper planning ensures more of your wealth is preserved for your beneficiaries.
Key documents include:
If you die without an estate plan, your assets will be distributed according to the rules of intestacy, which may not reflect your wishes. This can lead to legal disputes, higher taxes, and complications for your family. An estate plan ensures your assets are handled according to your preferences.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that grants someone the authority to make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated. It is crucial for managing your financial and healthcare affairs when you cannot do so yourself. There are two types of LPA in the UK: one for financial decisions and one for health and welfare decisions.
Estate planning involves arranging the management and disposal of your assets during your lifetime and after your death. It includes drafting legal documents such as wills and trusts, planning for tax efficiency, and appointing powers of attorney to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated.
A financial adviser helps you understand the financial aspects of estate planning, such as tax implications, investment management, and asset distribution. They work with legal professionals to ensure your estate plan is comprehensive and aligned with your financial goals.
It's never too early to start estate planning. Ideally, you should begin as soon as you have assets to protect or dependents to care for. Significant life events such as marriage, having children, or purchasing a home are also good times to create or update your estate plan.
Estate planning ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, minimises potential legal disputes, reduces taxes, and provides for your family's financial future. It also includes provisions for managing your affairs if you become unable to do so yourself.
