HPIMC can provide expert advice in a number of specialist areas, whether it concerns:
Pension divorce sharing
As from 1 December 2000 legislation allows divorcing couples the option to share their pension assets as part of the overall divorce settlement. Apart from the basic state retirement pension and survivors’ pensions, which will not be shareable, it will be possible to share most types of occupational and personal pension rights including those built up in the State Second Pension (formerly State Earnings Related Pension Schemes)
Pension sharing will be available alongside existing methods of dealing with pension rights on divorce.
Occupational and personal pension trust
Nearly all occupational pension schemes sponsored by employers are set up under a trust. Also, many personal pension schemes are established in the same way.
Estate planning and trusts
The process of accumulating and disposing of an estate to maximise the goals of the estate owner. The various goals of estate planning include making sure the greatest amount of the estate passes to the estate owner’s intended beneficiaries, often including paying the least amount of taxes and avoiding or minimising probate court involvement. Additional goals typically include providing for and designating guardians for minor children and planning for incapacity.
And many more....
