What do I need to consider when planning for my retirement?

There are a wide range of issues depending on your personal circumstances, for example whether you own your own business, whether you have any financial dependents, and so on?

Generally speaking everyone should do the following:
– Ensure that they have an up to date Will;
– Put Lasting Powers of Attorney both for Health & Welfare and for Property & Financial Affairs in place;
– Take advice on measures to reduce potential inheritance tax liabilities; and
– Review their pension arrangements.
