What's new in Retirement Planning

Financially plan your retirement with Legal & Medical

Many medical professionals believe that their NHS Pension is the solution to all their pension requirements. Whilst the NHS Pension Scheme certainly forms the backbone of our clients’ retirement plans, supplementary planning may well be required, particularly in light of new changes. It can also have huge tax advantages.

As pension specialists to doctors and dentists, we have in-depth knowledge and a wealth of experience in advising medical and dental professionals on:

NHS Pension Scheme

The NHS Pension Scheme provides a tax free lump sum and an index-linked pension that is service related. It also has a number of other benefits, including pensions for surviving partners, death in service benefits, allowances for dependent children and ill-health retirement. Find out more

Personal Pensions

A personal pension is a highly tax efficient savings vehicle to provide you with a regular income in your retirement.

SIPPS (Self-Invested Personal Pensions)

SIPPs are personal pension wrappers that offer more freedom of choice than conventional personal pensions. They allow you to choose your own investments or to appoint an investment manager to look after your portfolio on your behalf.

Drawing Your Pension Benefits

There are various ways of taking an income from your pension, including annuities and various drawdown options.
