Remi has been advising clients in wills and estate planning for over 20 years during which time she has created wills for thousands of clients and saved her clients over £100m in inheritance tax. For Remi, making a will is not just about drawing up a document that says what you want to happen to your assets. It is about creating a complete plan for protecting your wealth for future generations. It is about planning your legacy, whether it is about making sure your family is properly provided for after your death, ensuring that inheritance tax does not erode the value of your estate, preserving family unity by reducing the chances of your will being challenged, protecting family heirlooms from future in-laws or putting in place the right succession plan for your family business.
You may also want to ensure that the correct people will be given control of your personal and business affairs if you lose mental capacity. Or it may be that you have some specific philanthropic goals you want to achieve through your will. It’s your legacy. And it’s Remi’s job to create the plan for delivering that legacy to those you intend.
Remi’s clients include successful professionals, company executives, celebrities and wealthy individuals and international clients with cross border estates. Remi also works with high net worth individuals, families and business owners to create a bespoke plan for protecting the family wealth and ensuring the successful transfer of wealth to future generations.
