Clarity when it matters most

Understanding the rules about passing on wealth is a key concern for many people, whatever stage of later life they’re at. Our experts can help clear up any confusion you may have and put in place the plans you need to achieve your desired outcome.

Our financial planners Richard and Bharat have been advising since 2006, and over the years they’ve helped hundreds of clients just like you with their issues and fears about Inheritance Tax. Together, they’ve enabled people to truly enjoy their retirement, free from doubt about what will happen to their estate.

Choose us, and we’ll make the complex simple, explaining everything in plain English every step of the way. Contact us today to get started.

Your questions, answered

How can you help me to reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax I pay?

The first step to minimising your Inheritance Tax bill is understanding how much you have and what plans you have for your estate.

Together, we’ll produce an overview of your finances, your family situation, and your objectives. Then we’ll help you to put the right arrangements in place to ensure you don’t pay more tax than necessary.

Will all my money be tied up in trusts that my family can’t access?

There are several ways to reduce your Inheritance Tax bill, including gifts and pensions, but trusts are a common choice for many. The trick is ensuring they’re right for your circumstances.

We’ll take the time to really understand what wealth you have and make sure the right people can benefit from it, to give you total peace of mind.

What’s the difference between independent and restricted financial advice?

Restricted advisers can only recommend financial solutions from certain providers. This typically includes banks and building societies, who’ll only recommend their own products.

Independent financial advisers have access to the whole of the market. This means they can present you with a wider range of options for preserving your wealth.

What are your credentials for providing Inheritance Tax support?

Our financial planners Richard and Bharat both have qualifications from the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), a globally recognised professional body for later life advisers.

Richard and Bharat also hold specialist certifications from the London Institute of Banking and Finance. You’re in safe hands with our expert team.

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate trusts, estate planning and tax advice.

Tudor Franklin were recommended to me by our neighbours and to be honest , contacting them was a great decision. The service and advice given by Bharat was excellent and very professional. The advice and guidance is impartial and at no point is there any pressure put on you when it comes to key decisions. I feel that my pension is in a much better place and will offer me better options in the years to come thanks to Tudor Franklin. I would highly recommend this company.

Brilliant, friendly service from Richard Meats. He takes lots of time to listen to your personal circumstances and views and then to find the best investment options. He then patiently explains each option in a language you can understand.

I contacted Tudor Franklin for pension advice following an unbiased.co.uk search. Bharat responded the same day to my enquiry and following an initial conversation, I made an appointment for a pension review. Bharat took the time to understand my situation and explained things very clearly. He put me at ease and it was very easy to speak with him. From working through all the information together, he was able to reassure me and suggested additional things I may wish to think about. I would highly recommend Bharat and will not hesitate to contact him again.

I would recommend these wholeheartedly. I dealt with Bharat before he started this business with Richard and the advice of Inheritance tax planning is superb and we are on the way to saving a lot of tax. These people are not pushy salesmen but advisers who give you teh facts ad let you decide.Very well qualified in their profession.
