What Is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is the process of organising your personal affairs, assets, and legal documents so that your wishes are clearly followed after your death—or if you become unable to make decisions during your lifetime. A robust estate plan can:
- Specify who inherits your assets
- Appoint people to make decisions if you’re incapacitated
- Minimise inheritance tax liabilities
- Protect your home from care fees
- Prevent family disputes by making your wishes clear
Estate planning isn’t only about wealth—it’s about control, protection, and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.

Why Estate Planning Is Essential in the UK
Many people assume that their assets will automatically go to their partner or children, but without a valid will, the rules of intestacy will apply. This means your estate may not be distributed the way you expect. Estate planning gives you control over:
- Who inherits your estate
- When and how your beneficiaries receive their inheritance
- Who can act on your behalf in a medical or financial emergency
- Minimising tax and legal complications for your loved ones
Without planning, families often face delays, unexpected tax bills, and emotionally difficult decisions. You can explore more about the rules of intestacy on GOV.UK.

Every plan is personalised to your goals, your family structure, and your financial position.
