Ellis Bates Financial Advisers
Our Financial Advisors are here to help and support your family on its financial planning journey every step of the way, including guidance on inheritance tax.
Often when it comes to financial planning, it can feel like a very individual decision. What you’re actually doing is planning for yours and your family’s future.
All families are different. And that’s why it’s really important to involve your Financial Advisor with the whole family story.
All age groups are researching and understanding the importance of seeking professional, qualified financial advice to help them with their money – be it protection, investing, researching pensions, socially responsible investing or making savings work harder.

With more people concerned with family legacy in light of the pandemic, sharing a family Financial Advisor can be a very effective and efficient way to address the very real financial issues surrounding mortality.
With the rise and rise of house prices over the last three decades and the new pensions freedoms act, the results have been a significant rise in monies handed over to HMRC and the average UK inheritance tax bill currently stands at a staggering £179k!
Not only is the Financial Advisors role to work with you on how to protect and pass your assets (property/pensions/savings/investments etc) down to your family, but a shared ‘family’ Advisor can do this even more powerfully and effectively for you and your loved ones.
One of our Financial Advisors will work with you through the myriad of options including inheritance tax planning, personal tax planning, using personal allowances, pension planning between partners/children, generational gifting, trusts and intergenerational wealth transfer.
Sharing family-wide financial goals will significantly improve any wealth transfer, smooth out the inheritance process, family communication and offer long term peace of mind and security.
All families are different and all families are complex. We are here to help and support your family on its financial planning journey every step of the way.
“I used Matthew Stirling to re-mortgage my Equity Release to reduce the interest rate I was paying to benefit my family in the future. In spite of a couple of hiccups along the way, which Matthew dealt with quickly & efficiently, the whole process went smoothly. I would not hesitate to use or recommend him for any future advice.” Richard M.
