The financial facts of married life
Article Abstract:
It is important when considering financial planning for having children to have some money available for emergencies. A postal account offering a higher rate of interest than a branch-based account can be an attractive option. It is worthwhile considering insuring against being unable to work for reasons of ill-health or accident, and consideration should also be given to insurance cover for sudden serious illness. Those planning to get married must ensure that they have drawn up wills.

Surprise shares fund a great escape
Article Abstract:
Somebody who inherits shareholdings is likely to be in a fairly strong financial position, especially if the shareholdings pay regular dividends. It is important to notify an accountant of this income, ensuring that the relevant information is provided to the Inland Revenue. If the shares are sold, any profit is subject to Capital Gains Tax. It may be worth considering participating in a Share Exchange Scheme. This allows some of the shares to be exchanged for an alternative holding.
