Older Age Services Fees
At NorthStar, we are committed to providing clear and simple fees for all our services. When we help you plan for your older age, you will always know how much you will be charged and can be confident that you will be paying some of the most competitive rates around.
We live in an increasingly ageing population with more and more people living into their 90s and a significant number becoming centenarians. It has therefore never been more important to think about our latter years and plan to make them an enjoyable and comfortable time and not placing an undue burden on our families.
Our range of older age planning services are designed to help you plan for you latter years with confidence, It may also be beneficial to think of older family members who may have more pressing financial concerns that we may be able to help with.
Our main older age planning services and fees are summarised below:
Long-term Care Insurance
Typically, we are paid commission for arranging a long-term care insurance policy and therefore paid by the insurance provider. The arrangement of a long-term care insurance policy is usually subject to a minimum total fee of £800 for all policies. Where the commission payable by the provider is less than £800, the balance is paid directly.
State Care Provision
To provide a full, personalised report into your state care provision entitlement and the steps you need to take to maximise your state benefits in this area, the fee is £800.
Inheritance Tax Planning
Inheritance tax planning aims to minimise the inheritance bill on your estate when you die. There are many techniques we can use to legitimately reduce this tax and steps we can help you take to lower the tax your estate will pay. Inheritance tax planning falls under our financial planning service and is charged in the same way. You may either opt for an ongoing financial planning service paid monthly or by ad-hoc or one-off services which simply look at your inheritance tax planning needs in isolation. You can see a full breakdown of our financial planning fees and choose the plan that is right for you.
Funeral Plans
