Planning for the next generation using Pensions

  • Wed 24 Feb 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
    • John Chew, Canada Life

To quote from the Blue Oyster Cult song lyrics, “Don’t fear the reaper”. An essential part of the advisers role is the planning the steps taken to protect your clients estate. Since the introduction of pension freedoms and the increased flexibility and choice open to clients and whom can benefit from their remaining pension pot, this has become even more important when planning how wealth is cascaded. However, there are things that can be done today with pensions to help spread the wealth at an earlier point in time whilst providing valuable tax savings for your clients. The session will examine ways of using pensions contributions to benefit others along with considerations around the lifetime allowances and the outcomes of the recent Staveley case with respect to pension transfers within two years of death.

Is the history of lifetime mortgages causing a dark cloud over their use in today's financial planning?
