Divorcing or Thinking of Getting Divorced? 

Don’t Overlook the Pension.

You could be walking away from your biggest financial asset.

Gem Durham, owner and founder of Whitebeam Financial has worked as an Independent Financial adviser for over 20 years and is an expert, specialising in tax efficient strategies and tailored investments, helping you gain financial clarity, align wealth with your current and future goals and values. Creating a life of purpose, joy and a lasting legacy. 


Options at a Glance

 
Spend – You’ve worked hard all your life, so enjoy the money you’ve earned. 

Is there a dream holiday you’ve always wanted to take? 

Something on the bucket list? If you’re fit and able, don’t keep putting it off. 

With the appropriate  planning, you can spend with confidence, safe in the knowledge that your future needs are still taken care of. A financial planner can potentially help you model your finances to strike the balance between living well now and protecting tomorrow.

 
Gift – There’s great satisfaction in seeing loved ones benefit from your generosity during your lifetime. 

But gifting is not always straightforward. Rules around Potentially Exempt Transfers (PETs), Chargeable Lifetime Transfers (CLTs), and trusts can all have different tax consequences. A financial adviser can potentially help you structure your gifts in the most effective order, so you retain control, manage any risks, and protect your long-term plans. 


Wills – Keeping your will up to date is one of the simplest yet most powerful steps you can take to ensure your wishes are followed. 

It’s also worth remembering that the will of someone who has already passed away can sometimes be varied - within two years of their death, to improve tax efficiency or reflect family needs. 

Business Property Relief (BPR) – While not suitable for everyone, BPR can be a valuable tool for certain investors.

It allows you to increase the amount you can pass on without paying inheritance tax.

 
Whole of Life Assurance – One option to manage your estate is to insure against the inheritance tax bill itself. 

Whole of Life cover can provide your beneficiaries with the means to pay the liability without touching the assets you’ve worked hard to build.


If you’re unsure what to do next - take a breath. You’re in the right place.

Faster Turnaround – Get your Consent Order 8-12 weeks quicker than other providers.
