The Estate Architect Podcast
Practical conversations about inheritance tax, pensions, property, family wealth and the decisions that shape your estate.
The Estate Architect Podcast explores the issues families often discover too late — from pension beneficiary arrangements and inheritance tax exposure to property, liquidity, advisers and family decision-making.
Below is a selection of episodes from the complete Estate Architect Podcast library.
Selected From The Series
Listen directly to nine selected episodes covering some of the most important questions in estate planning today.
Ranjeet Singh shares the personal story that inspired Estate Architect. From losing his father at eleven to seeing the impact of poor financial advice, discover why estate planning is about leadership, preparation and protecting the people you love — not just reducing inheritance tax.
The three most dangerous words in estate planning. Learn why assumptions can become costly and why having documents or advisers does not necessarily mean your estate will work as expected.
Doing nothing is still a decision. Discover why delay can become the most expensive choice and why some estate planning opportunities become harder to address as time passes.
Ultra-wealthy families rarely rely on luck when protecting their estates. Discover why coordination — not simply having advisers — is one of the keys to preserving family wealth.
Inheritance tax is one of the most emotionally charged taxes in Britain. Ranjeet looks at why many families consider it unfair while making the practical point that, whether we agree with the tax or not, the rules still have to be dealt with.
Your pension, property, investments, lifestyle needs, beneficiaries and inheritance-tax position are increasingly interconnected. Ranjeet explains why the pension changes due from April 2027 make coordination between pension planning and the wider estate more important than ever.
Leaving valuable assets behind is one thing. Giving your family the freedom to keep them is another. Ranjeet explores how insufficient liquidity can force executors to sell property, investments or other family assets at the wrong time.
Having a good financial adviser managing your pension does not automatically mean your wider estate has been coordinated. Pension planning, beneficiaries, wills, inheritance tax, property and the needs of a surviving spouse increasingly need to be considered together.
Many people assume their will determines who receives their pension when they die. Ranjeet explains why pension death benefits can operate differently, why beneficiary nominations matter and why your will and pension documentation need to tell the same story.
