Securing Your Family's Financial Future

Since 1969, Surrey families have depended upon Partridge Muir & Warren (PMW) for fully tailored and independent financial planning and family wealth, asset and investment management advice.

For over 50 years, we have been helping grandparents, parents and children achieve their financial objectives, working with every family member to ensure goals are aligned, and estates are managed in such a way that everyone can benefit.

How can we help you with your family wealth management and financial planning needs?

Something that has always made us proud at PMW is the fact that on average, our clients remain with us for more than two decades, and that local Surrey families have retained us as their preferred advisers over multiple generations.

Your family financial planning needs will of course be wholly individual. That is precisely why our advice will always be fully tailored, and why we spend unlimited time getting to know your wishes, your unique family distinctions, and your specific aspirations.

What are your financial planning needs as a family?

Are you worried that your family won’t benefit as much as you’d like from your estate because of Inheritance Tax? Or even that your assets may have to be sold just to meet the tax liability when you die?

Do you have young, disabled or vulnerable family members you would like to take care of financially when you’re gone?

Are you interested in discovering how as a family, you can pool your collective wealth to help support each other?

Whatever your family financial planning goals, you can enjoy full peace of mind that at PMW, they will be just as important to us, as they are to you.

Inheritance Tax Planning

A lot of people worry that their families will miss out on a full inheritance due to a high Inheritance Tax liability. For many, their main goal will be to reduce what is payable. But for some, the will be a different objective, because in some cases it could be that the Inheritance Tax liability will be such that assets will actually have to be sold to meet it.

We offer a dedicated Inheritance Tax planning service which involves formulating a personalised strategy for your family, so that assets can be protected and inheritance optimised between the generations.

From creating trusts to lifetime gifting, from property ownership strategies to residence allowance optimisation and charitable legacies, our highly experienced IHT planning specialists know precisely how to make best use of the tools available.

Family Wealth Trusts

Trusts are often used to distribute wealth from older generations to children and grandchildren. Their core aim is usually to reduce the Inheritance Tax liability, without passing on too many assets, too soon. They are also used to keep family assets together, or to gradually introduce family wealth to descendants.

Trusts are also beneficial in a family asset management sense for redirecting wealth, and for protecting young or vulnerable beneficiaries.

When it comes to setting up trusts, there are many different types. As family estate management specialists, you can rely on our knowledge to select the most appropriate to suit your specific family needs and goals.

Family Wealth Management

In the next few years, over a million families in the UK are expected to contain more than one retired generation. This means that potentially, there will be less inheritance to pass on, which in turn means that it is more important than ever for families to start planning for later life.

Intergenerational wealth management is the process of looking at how a family can make better, collaborative use of its collective wealth, so that everyone is supported during their lifetimes.

The process tackles issues such as long term care funding; assisting younger family members through higher education or onto the property ladder; retirement planning and safeguarding the future of a family business, with estate planning, family investment management and financial planning all playing important roles.
