The quiet divorce often involves a long period of private deliberation before any legal process begins. That period carries real financial and legal risk, and most women navigate it without proper advice. This guide and checklist covers five areas: knowing where you stand financially, protecting yourself without overstepping, assembling the right team, understanding the legal process, and managing the conversation with children.
Read MoreMost people assume the family home is exempt from capital gains tax when they sell. In ordinary circumstances, Private Residence Relief makes that true. In a divorce, it depends on when one spouse moves out, whether a new property is bought and elected before the sale completes, and critically, whether the financial arrangement is captured in a court order. The 2023 reforms significantly improved the position for departing spouses, extending protection beyond the nine-month window and preserving relief on deferred sale arrangements. But those protections are conditional, and the conditions are not well known. This guide sets out what applies in each of the most common scenarios, in plain terms.
Read MoreSeparation changes your tax position in ways most people are not warned about. The timing of when you move assets, whether transfers are made under a court order, how your pension is treated in settlement, and what happens to your income tax filing as a single person, each of these has a direct financial consequence. This guide covers the key taxes that arise in divorce, including the CGT reforms introduced in April 2023, the stamp duty exemption most people do not know exists, and the pension inheritance tax changes coming in April 2027.

Read MoreInheritance tax is no longer a problem that belongs exclusively to the wealthy. It is increasingly a problem that belongs to anyone who owns a home in a city, has been saving into a pension for two decades, and has watched their investments grow. And from April 2027, it will become significantly more complex, as unused pension pots are brought into the taxable estate for the first time. The planning window is not infinite. Some of the most effective strategies require years to mature. This guide sets out what the rules are, what is changing, and what you can do now.
Read MorePrompted by Colin Farrell’s recent reflections on securing future care for his son, we caught up with Caroline Foulger, Partner at Hunters Law, to share a practical and compassionate framework for families navigating uncertainty.

Read MoreThere is a long-standing rule in English succession law under which marriage automatically revokes an existing Will, which is increasingly out of step with modern life. We spoke with Hunters Law to explore how a provision originally intended to protect surviving spouses can, in practice, leave vulnerable individuals exposed, particularly in cases of predatory marriage, and reflect on the recent proposals for reform put forward by the Law Commission, while questioning whether changes to Wills law alone go far enough without wider safeguards.

Read MoreIn a world increasingly characterised by division, disruption, and social mistrust, families of wealth face distinct psychological and relational challenges that are frequently minimised or misunderstood within traditional therapeutic frameworks. Systemic therapy, particularly through the lens of cultural competence and cultural humility, offers a uniquely effective framework for working with this population. We sat down with Dr. Paul Hokemeyer, JD, Ph.D. to explore a nuanced examination of the unique psychological and relational challenges faced by individuals and families of wealth.
Read MoreIn the realm of wealth stewardship, there are few concepts as elegant as the Acceptance in Lieu (AIL) scheme — a little-known but powerful way to balance inheritance tax liabilities with cultural legacy. For those who hold or manage national heritage assets, AIL presents a unique opportunity: preserve something beautiful for the public good while also protecting your estate’s value. We spoke with Rebecca Bion of Forsters Law to find out how this works — and why it may be an inspired tool for those thinking about wealth, impact, and legacy through a more expansive lens.
