Lifetime planning as a concept is nothing new. However, it is rarely considered across the spectrum of professional services, usually to the detriment of the client.
The idea behind the concept is that when we are advising on key legal considerations throughout your lifetime, we also prompt you to consider non-legal factors at the same time, either through one of our preferred partners, or through your own contact. This ensures your whole needs are considered in advance of key life events.
The other main point, which is demonstrated by the below table, is that this concept is not age specific. For example, the common misconception is that a Will is only required after a certain age. This is obviously incorrect as a person could die at any age in life & without an adequate Will, meaning their wishes could be ignored & their assets would pass under the rules of Intestacy. By regularly & consistently considering your needs, we will mutually ensure you have effective lifetime planning in place.
