What is wealth protection?
Wealth protection is the process of securing and preserving an individual’s financial assets and property. This can include estate planning, insurance, and investment strategies.
Some wealth protection options include:
- Life insurance: which helps any dependents financially in the event that you should pass away prematurely.
- Critical illness protection: which is a policy that will pay out if diagnosed with certain serious illness.
- Making a will: which will help ensure that assets are divided according to the living wishes of the deceased.
- Creating trusts: which is a way to pass an estate on to specified beneficiaries under a set of specific circumstances e.g. when children of the deceased reaches a certain age.
Appointing someone with lasting powers of attorney – which is nominating one or several trusted people to make decisions on your behalf in the future if you lose the capacity to do so yourself.
How to protect your wealth
Protecting your wealth is an important part of ensuring that you are dealing with your money in the most effective way. However, it can also be a complicated process if not clearly understood. There are several forms of tax that you may be paying unnecessarily, including inheritance tax, capital gains tax and income tax.
You may also want to protect your wealth from potential threats such as spendthrift family members or dissipation through divorce and remarriage, and ensure that it is passed on to future generations in the way that you would like. Our specialists can ensure that your wealth is protected in the best way possible, and help you manage it effectively.

Our specialist team of tax and trust lawyers can help you protect your wealth by creating and managing the right legal structure tailored to your individual situation. This is a complex area of the law, and our specialists will guide you through the more difficult issues.
The first step is to ensure that we have a thorough understanding of your family circumstances, and what exactly you want to achieve. We will then review all the options with you and, if necessary, consult with other professionals such as Independent Financial Advisers, to come up with the best solution for you. On your instructions, we will draft all the necessary documentation, put the legal strategy in place and, if required, manage it for the future.

How to protect your wealth from divorce
While people don’t tend to enter into a marriage thinking that it will end in divorce, sadly it does sometimes happen and it can have very significant consequences for wealth if no legal steps have been taken to help preserve assets for future generations of the family.
Some of the ways to help protect wealth from divorce include, but are not limited to:
- Prenuptial agreements: while not legally binding in the UK currently, a prenuptial agreement detailing specific assets owned by one party before the marriage and what should happen to them in the event of a divorce are usually adhered to in court if it was freely entered into by both parties.
- Postnuptial agreements: essentially the same as a prenuptial agreement but can be entered into anytime after getting married.
- Trusts: can be set up to protect money destined for those who are too young to handle their own financial affairs at present, or are not capable of doing so for another reason. Trusts must be set up in the correct way in order to defend a potential challenge in the event of a divorce.
All of these wealth protection measures will need expert legal advice in order to ensure that they are done in accordance with all requirements.
