Our research shows a massive £530 million will be wasted in unnecessary IHT payments this year. So we decided to team up with Prudential and create a checklist to point consumers in the right direction - your direction! The checklist gives your clients the first steps to inheritance tax planning by understanding the valuation of an individual's estate. It's even been featured in the Mail on Sunday this week… take a look.
The checklist can be a great way to start conversations with your clients about their estate planning - download it here.

For our discussion this week, we focus on all things jargon! New research conducted by NS&I revealed that many consumers admit to not understanding several financial terms, deeming many as 'puzzling'. What are your thoughts? Could more be done to better educate consumers on financial terms? Should more simplified language be use when consulting clients? Have your say and join the discussion.
This week MAS released their consultation response. As MAS decides whether to source advisers from existing directories, unbiased.co.uk encourages MAS to look to the industry for support. For more unbiased.co.uk views on MAS directory click here.
