Your pension options
Many expats have pensions scattered around the world. As you approach retirement, it’s a good idea to consolidate these pensions, so that you know exactly what you have. Learn more about QROPS, SIPP and UK pension transfers.
Reassessing your risk profile and rebalancing your investments
Before you retire, complete a risk profile questionnaire to ensure that your investments still reflect your attitude towards risk.
Inheritance tax and trust planning
There are many complexities surrounding inheritance tax, but with careful planning it may be possible to avoid paying unnecessary tax and minimise uncertainties surrounding how your estate will be managed. Planning your estate is also vital if you wish for your beneficiaries to inherit your entire estate, rather than the government.
Long term care and disabilityBy taking a two-tiered approach to planning your post-working future, you will be able to plan for your retirement dreams, as well as cater for your medical needs, should the unexpected happen.
Paying for care can be incredibly expensive but with the right insurance in place, you can avoid using your remaining pension or estate, and ensure you don’t become a burden for your family.
