Proposed changes to Inheritance Tax (IHT) rules could affect how pension wealth is passed on to beneficiaries from April 2027.

The Government has released further detail on plans that may bring some unused pension funds and death benefits into the scope of IHT. If implemented, this could change how pensions are considered within estate planning.

As always, tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in future.

With pensions often playing an important role in long-term financial planning, it may be worthwhile reviewing existing arrangements to understand whether these proposed changes could have an impact.

If you would like to discuss how the proposals may affect your own plans, please get in touch for advice.

It’s never too soon to start planning for retirement.

One of my younger clients, in the 18–34 age category, approached me looking to take a proactive approach to their future and begin working towards the goal of a comfortable early retirement.

Together, we’ve built a long-term financial strategy focused on clear planning, realistic expectations, and regular reviews to help keep things on track over time.

Retirement planning is not just something to think about later in life - starting early can make a significant difference to the options available in the future.

Financial resilience across the UK has weakened over the past year, with more households reporting financial pressure and reduced confidence in their future. But the research is consistent: those with a financial plan are significantly more likely to feel in control and confident about their finances.

Having structure in place doesn’t remove uncertainty - it helps people respond to it with clarity rather than reaction.

When it comes to saving and investing for children and grandchildren, time is the most powerful factor. Even modest contributions made early can grow over the long term, helping to build financial support for future goals such as education, housing, or later life planning.

There are several options available depending on circumstances and objectives, including Junior ISAs, pensions, savings accounts, and trust structures. Each comes with different rules on access, tax treatment, and risk, so the right approach will vary from family to family.

At Peak Fifteen, we help families consider the most suitable way to structure support for younger generations, balancing growth potential with flexibility and control.

If you’d like to understand the options available for supporting children or grandchildren, send us a DM to learn more.

Financial planning is about keeping things organised, reviewing regularly, and adjusting when circumstances or markets change.

Running a business often involves balancing a wide range of responsibilities, and financial planning is one area where a structured approach can help provide clarity.

Many business owners focus on growth and day-to-day operations, while financial decisions across both business and personal areas can sometimes become less joined up over time.

A considered approach looks at key areas such as cash flow, tax planning, risk management, employee considerations, and longer-term planning for exit or succession.

Rather than addressing each stage in isolation, planning across the full business journey can help support more consistent decision-making.

At Peak Fifteen Financial Planning, we work with business owners to review their financial position in a structured way, helping them understand how different areas link together.
