How do I pass on wealth to the next generation?

Ensure your wealth goes to the right people at the right time to secure your family's future.

Maintain your family’s stability

Having built up your wealth through years of hard work, you wish to enjoy it while also ensuring that it is passed on to the next generation. Doing this efficiently is of paramount importance. There’s much more to it than ensuring your will is updated and you have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place. We can give you peace of mind knowing that you have laid the firmest foundations for your family’s future.

We’ll be there to create lasting change

Inheritance Tax planning

A hot topic for people wishing to pass on wealth is Inheritance Tax, and how to legitimately mitigate it. Without a clear plan in place for what will happen to your wealth when you pass away, you could leave your loved ones with a hefty tax bill. We’ll look at your options and form a plan to ensure you pass on as much wealth as possible.

Planning for uncertainties

Unexpected care fees and sudden illness can catch you off guard, significantly affecting your finances if you’re not prepared, and impacting how much you can pass on to loved ones. It’s difficult to plan for a future that may not happen, but we will ensure that everything is in place, so you’re prepared for any curveballs that life throws at you.

Understand your goals

Although you’re thinking about passing on wealth, we can’t forget about your own plans for the future. While you may not want to go on trips around the world anymore, we still need to consider your spending. It’s all about balance and making sure you don’t spend too much while still having financial freedom.

Provide a long-term service

When we say “lasting change”, we mean just that. We don’t do one-off transactions. We build a long-term relationship with you and your family to ensure that your wealth is passed down efficiently. We can continue to work with future generations and become their trusted adviser to ensure continuity.

What clients are saying

Client satisfaction is our ultimate goal. See what some of our happy clients say about the value of our work.

We have used MW-FS for many years and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs help with their finances. Adam is easy to get hold of and he comes to see us twice a year to explain how our investments are working for us in easy terms.

Graham Kilsby

Adam keeps me updated on how my pension is performing. He checks I’m still happy with the investment funds and that I understand the performance data so I can make informed decisions about my pension. I thoroughly recommend him as a pensions adviser.

Elaine

Twelve years ago, preparing for retirement was a major issue, deciding to find an adviser was our first decision, then deciding on Dave Hemsley was the swift second. Dave's advice has consistently been sound and well-researched. We have regular documented reports and regular informal conversations to monitor that all is well. We have been pleased so far and look forward with confidence.

Derek, Ilkley

I wanted to retire but was unsure how to approach the financial planning aspect of doing so.

I was lucky enough to be directed to MW-FS for guidance. Adam explained the process of pooling our finances into one plan and the benefits that can be gained from doing so.

Having Adam's support has stopped me worrying about having a stable income for the years to come and the prospect of being able to leave my family financially secure.

Mary

I have little knowledge of, and even less interest in, the world of finance, so I am always in need of simple and clear guidance about how to handle my affairs. I feel particularly lucky to have found Tracy Hutty, who has been a breath of fresh air by constantly providing me with straightforward advice that is easy to understand. I feel that I am in very safe hands, and can strongly recommend both Tracy and Marshall Wooldridge Financial Services.

Dr Paul Bahn, Hull

My employment did not always allow me to keep on top of my tax, pension and investment affairs so it is reassuring for me to know that they were and still are, in very capable hands. The knowledge that any questions I have, no matter how trivial they seem, are never 'silly questions' and are resolved in a professional manner and I'm pleased to say, with good humour. Long may it continue.

Dennis, East Midlands

Richard has been our financial adviser for a number of years, Richard is proactive in suggesting changes within our investment portfolios. Our finances needed careful advice as we’d had savings which were then added to after redundancies and inheritance, and impending retirement for me if not my wife just yet!
His advice is always clear, and he willingly navigates us through technical language to get to a solution with which we are happy. Richard is also more than happy to meet us at our home in Nottingham despite living in Leeds! A bonus!

Ross, Nottingham

We were first introduced to Marshall Wooldridge in 2019, it was important to us to know they were well established.
We have developed a great relationship with our adviser and have never felt under any pressure with them. Their patience and understanding has been fantastic. Richard takes time to get to really understand what your needs are and gives help and pointers along the way that look at all aspects of your finances.
For us personally, it has resulted in us investing at a level of risk that suits our situation, we are comfortable with and suits our goals. We would highly recommend them.

Alison

I first met David in the early 1990’s when he came to see both my late father and me regarding our pensions. I have always found him to be honest and concise. His reasoning is well thought out and logical and he thrives on trying to get the best outcomes for his clients. I have always found him to be approachable and always willing to listen to any of my queries or suggestions. His knowledge of the industry is extensive, and he makes great endeavours to ensure that his knowledge is always up to date.
I would always recommend him (and his firm) to anyone seeking a financial adviser.
