Children growing up

When your children leave home for university or to start their careers you could find you have more disposable income: you are probably approaching the peak of your career - and your earnings.This is the time to check that your investments and pension fund are on track to meet your objectives - if they aren't you still have time to get back on track.

Approaching retirement

Financially, things should be a bit easier now. Your children are probably independent and you may already have paid off your mortgage.Your main priority will be to preserve the value of your pension fund, investments and any money you have inherited, so you have enough to maintain your lifestyle when you retire.

Retired

Ill Health

Caring for a loved one at home is demanding and at first you may manage with support. The time may come when you may jointly decide to use the help of a nursing or care home. At this time finances become important. A partner being diagnosed with a terminal illness is frightening, and you can be determined to make the most of your time. Accessing the value of assets quickly can become important.

Death

After a death, suddenly everything changes. The financial nitty gritty of probate & executorship takes time. Eventually you will need to reorganise your finances, and advice can be crucial . Your beneficiaries whilst mourning your loss, will have to deal with the funds released and financial advice can be very helpful.
