Wills

Having a Will can minimise your family’s financial difficulties and help them to avoid lengthy legal proceedings at the time of bereavement. It can also ensure your estate and/or children will be looked after by the person(s) of your choosing, and can help reduce inheritance tax.

  • Our Wills service is offered through James McKenzie Ltd and there are two levels of service available, both of which can be utilised by your partner – find out more on Spectrum.
  • You can select this benefit at any point in the year.

Available to permanent employees and those on fixed term contracts only.

 

Lasting Power of Attorney

Mental and physical incapacity can hit at any time, so you may wish to consider setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPOA) for you and/or your partner or your parents.

LPOA gives another individual the legal authority to look after specific aspects of your financial affairs or health and welfare should you lose the capacity to do so, and are designed specifically to be recognised by financial institutions, care homes and local authorities, as well as tax, benefits and pension authorities. 

  • Our LPA service is offered through James McKenzie Ltd and there are four levels of service available  – find out more on Spectrum.
  • You can select this benefit at any point in the year.
  • Available to permanent employees and those on fixed term contracts only.

     

 

Investments & savings

Workplace Savings gives you access to a Stocks & Shares ISA, a General Investment Account (GIA) and a Lifetime ISA (LISA). 

Saving into a pension is a crucial part of any financial planning but there are different financial priorities at various stages of life; whether that’s saving a deposit for a property, to start a family or to support children through education. Our workplace savings plans are provided by Fidelity, who also manage your UK Pension Plan and allow you to build up investments (that, unlike your pension, can be accessed as needed) with monthly deductions from your net salary.
