About Us
About
KS Estate Planning
W
The business was started by two friends who originally met working for Halifax and then the Bank of Scotland around 25 years ago. Although they left and followed their own individual pathways, they
kept in touch, helping their own clients and then also referring to each other for the services that they had individually specialised in over the past 20 years or so, namely wealth advice (IHT Planning,
Investments, Insurance and specialised Pension Advice) and Will writing (Wills, Trust Wills, LPAs, Asset Trusts etc).
As a business KS Estate Planning, genuinely feels that helping clients to plan and protect the assets accrued after a lifetime of hard work is the way forward; retaining as much as possible, “keeping it
within the family” and ensuring future generations benefit from the hard work that you’ve put in; after all, you’ve worked hard to build up your assets, paid tax through your lifetime, played by the rules, why should you give even more to the State when your children and grandchildren could benefit instead?
