Aviva: Planning a Will
Planning early and understanding the facts surrounding a deceased person’s estate will help your clients to make important decisions when considering their Will.
Having a Will in place not only enables their estate to be distributed according to their wishes but means that intestacy can be avoided, whilst providing peace of mind to your clients.
Understand the rules
We look at how the intestacy rules differ in Scotland; how the transferable nil rate band regime works; as well as other financial planning options, such as the tax efficient payment of pension death benefits.
Remember, discussing Will planning gives you opportunities for other relevant new business, such as additional life cover, creating a lifetime trust or other packaged trust solutions such as Loan Trusts.
