Market opportunity
Just a quarter of survey respondents have already sought financial advice for estate planning, many respondents were open to the idea of seeking advice in future.
While the majority (51%), would seek advice from a financial adviser, followed by a solicitor (34%); more than a quarter would rely on the internet or their own research (28%). Almost one in 10 (8%) would not seek advice for inheritance tax planning from anyone.
