Financial Advisor For Inheritance

Financial Planner you can trust.

Why a Financial Advisor is Your Best Partner

The worst thing you can do is let your inheritance slip through your fingers. We believe in empowering you to make informed decisions that align with your long-term goals. We’ll work with you to explore all the possibilities and create a strategic plan that honours your legacy and secures your future.

Our process starts with a simple, yet crucial, first step: a conversation about what truly matters to you. Beyond the immediate gratification of a new car or a lavish holiday, what are your deeper aspirations? Do you dream of a career change, helping your children achieve their goals, or buying your forever home?

We’ll work together to answer these questions and more. We’ll explore a range of options, helping you understand the pros and cons of each, including:

  • Smart Investments: We’ll discuss your risk tolerance and help you build a diversified investment portfolio designed for capital preservation and long-term growth.
  • Debt Reduction: We’ll help you prioritise and tackle any outstanding debts, providing a clear path to financial freedom.
  • Tax Minimisation: We’ll work with your accountant to develop strategies to reduce your tax burden, ensuring you keep more of what you’ve inherited.
  • Boosting Your Superannuation: We can explore how contributing to your superannuation can significantly enhance your retirement savings.
  • Strategic Gifting: We’ll help you plan for making financial gifts to loved ones in a way that is both meaningful and financially sound.
  • ​​Protecting Your Newfound Wealth: We’ll discuss strategies to help you manage newfound attention and gracefully handle requests for money, allowing you to maintain your financial privacy and security.
  • Supporting Future Generations: We can help you establish a lasting legacy for your children and grandchildren.
  • Treating Yourself: We’ll help you responsibly allocate a portion of your inheritance for something that brings you joy, without compromising your financial future.

Taking the Time You Need

We understand that emotional turmoil is often part of the process. This may not be the ideal time to make life-altering financial decisions. There is no pressure to act immediately. It is perfectly fine to place your inheritance in a high-interest savings account for 12 months or even longer while you take the time to think clearly and decide on your path forward. This gives you the space to process your emotions and make a plan with a clear head.

A Legacy of Wealth: The Bigger Picture

As a significant generational wealth transfer is underway in Australia, managing an inheritance is becoming an increasingly important aspect of overall financial health. The Productivity Commission notes that $1.5 trillion was inherited between 2002 and 2021, and this trend is set to continue. This is not the time for a “get rich quick” mentality. Strategic, well-thought-out planning is essential to ensure this wealth provides lasting benefit.

Your Existing Habits Still Matter

It’s a common misconception that an inheritance will automatically solve all financial problems. The truth is, inheriting a large sum of money doesn’t magically change your existing financial habits. If your money management habits have been poor, an inheritance may not change your financial outcome in the long run without a new strategy. We’ll work with you to identify and address these habits, building a solid foundation for a lifetime of financial health.

Planning for "Life Before Death"

With people living longer, it’s becoming more common for wealth to be transferred earlier in life. Receiving a financial gift from parents or grandparents while they are still alive can provide a significant boost to your long-term financial growth. We can help you and your family navigate these conversations and leverage these gifts in a way that benefits everyone.
