Financial advice for expatriates

Making a permanent move overseas can be an emotional and time consuming experience. It is easy to push financial matters aside until a later date. The problem is that time can pass by with alarming speed and this is one point in your life when doing nothing leaves your capital and income open to significant risks.

Leaving cash on deposit is not tax or risk free! Not wrapping your wealth up in appropriate legal structures will mean that you and your family pay more tax than is necessary, both during your lifetime and after it. Inflation will erode the spending power of your capital and income, as will adverse movements in currency exchange rates. It is almost certainly the case that taxation and inflation are the two biggest threats to one's wealth. Taking advice from specialists will help protect your capital and give you peace of mind.

Consulting with a financial adviser who has the relevant knowledge and expertise is essential. Your usual UK adviser will not have first hand knowledge of the tax regulations of the country you are emigrating to, nor will they be aware of local investment and currency issues. Blevins Franks, however, has 17 permanent offices in Southern Europe with thorough knowledge of the local rules and how they interact with UK ones. With over 30 years experience we have established the most effective solutions for expatriates.

Spend some time with us now, get you financial affairs in the best possible order and you will then be able to get full benefit from your new life in the sun.
