Retirement tax planning
Retirement planning is a crucial process that helps individuals prepare for a financially secure and comfortable life after you stop working. Let’s break down the key aspects of retirement planning:
Will
A will is a legal document that outlines your wishes for distributing your property and caring for minor children after your death. Without a will, your preferences may not be followed, potentially causing complications for your heirs. Create a will to ensure your assets are distributed as you intend and to provide clarity for your loved ones.
Inheritance and Estate Planning
Inheritance planning involves preparing for the transfer of assets from one generation to the next. It ensures that your wealth is distributed according to your wishes after your passing.
- Components include:
- Wills
- Intestate Succession
- Inheritance planning minimizes family disputes, ensures efficient asset transfer, and provides clarity for your loved ones.
- Wills and Trusts:
- Power of Attorney.
- Healthcare Directives
- Minimise estate taxes through strategic planning.
Remember, both inheritance and estate planning are essential for preserving your legacy and easing the burden on your loved ones during challenging times.
Trust and Probates
Trusts
Trusts are legal arrangements where one party (the trustee) holds and manages assets for the benefit of another (the beneficiary). They are important because they offer control over assets, provide for beneficiaries, and can offer tax benefits and protection from creditors. Trusts also ensure that assets are distributed according to the settlor’s wishes, potentially avoiding the probate process, which can be lengthy and costly. They are a key tool in estate planning, offering flexibility, privacy, and a structured way to manage and pass on wealth.
It’s important to consult with a legal advisor to ensure the trust is set up correctly and meets your objectives. They can also help with understanding the tax implications and legal responsibilities involved.
Probates
Probates are legal processes that validate a deceased person’s will and oversee the distribution of their estate to the rightful heirs. It involves proving the will’s authenticity, appraising assets, paying debts and taxes, and distributing the remaining assets.
Probate ensures that the deceased’s wishes are honoured and that the transfer of assets is conducted lawfully.
Insurance
Legal Matters
Protecting yourself and family
Many people forget to protect what is most important in their lives – their family and themselves. We can help create bespoke protection plans to ensure you have a safety net in place to cover all eventualities.
Simple, Compliant and Stress-Free for Landlords & Local Traders
From April 2026, HMRC will require many sole traders and property landlords to keep digital records and send quarterly tax updates through approved software. This shift can feel overwhelming, especially if you’ve always relied on spreadsheets or paper. At ACE Accounts, we make the transition easy, practical and perfectly suited to the way busy landlords and local traders work. Whether you own one rental property or several, run a local trade business, or do a bit of both, we’ll take care of the technical side of MTD so you can focus on earning income—not learning software.
Why MTD Matters to Landlords & Small Traders
MTD brings new obligations:
- Digital recordkeeping for all property and business income
- Quarterly submissions to HMRC
- A final year-end declaration using compliant software
This means staying organised throughout the year—not just at tax return time. We help you build a smooth, reliable routine that fits your lifestyle and workload.
