Otter Financial Services

Otter Financial Services We are Independent Financial Advisers based in Ottery St Mary. As well as the potential solutions.

We work with clients throughout Devon, helping them to achieve their life goals through sound financial planning. We are Independent Financial Advisers with a long history of providing financial advice to the people of Devon. We work with people who are:

• Planning for their retirement
• Wanting to finish work now
• Already retired

Only working with these groups means we have an in-depth knowled

ge of their financial issues, problems and challenges. For most people, a successful retirement means having a financial plan and someone you can work with to make the big decisions, such as:

“Do I have enough money to retire yet?”
“What level of income do I need in retirement?”
“Can I afford to retire early?”
“What’s the best way of turning my pension in to an income?”
“How can Pension Freedoms help me?”
“How much will the State Pension give me?”
“How can I leave my pension to my loved ones when I die?”
“Should I keep, or transfer, my Final Salary pension?”

We can answer these questions, and more, as part of a comprehensive financial plan to give you a secure retirement. We offer face to face advice, either from our office in Ottery St Mary, your home or another location convenient to you.

As a parent, you may want to help your children achieve financial security by providing a financial gift. Yet, you may also be worried about the effect it could have on your own lifestyle, as well as the inheritance you leave loved ones. Before gifting significant sums, it’s important to review your overall finances.

Research finds more than a third of parents are gifting wealth to their adult children. A gift can help the next generation achieve financial security, but it’s just as important to consider your own plans.
