Meet Your Inheritance Tax Adviser

Inheritance Tax is a voluntary tax. My job is to ensure you don't pay it by choice.

For nearly four decades, I have been a specialist adviser focused on one thing: helping families protect their wealth from inheritance tax

Many solicitors or general financial advisers are not tax specialists. They can draft a will, but they often don't have the specific expertise to structure your entire estate to be as tax-efficient as possible. This is where I am different. My focus is singular.

The Benefits of Inheritance Tax Planning

My grandmother and her twin brother, my great uncle Albert, each inherited £250,000 in the 1980s from selling the family's cloth distribution business.

My grandmother and her twin brother, my great uncle Albert, split half a million pounds, the proceeds of selling a cloth distribution enterprise, equally between them. When they died in the late 1980s, each of them passed on that quarter million-pound wedge in their estates.

First, my great uncle Albert...

His estate paid inheritance tax at 40% therefore his daughter, my aunt inherited only £150,000. My aunt got divorced in what turned out to be the last year of her life – on her divorce, half of her £150,000 walked on her divorce. Therefore, she had only £75,000 of the original quarter million to pass on to her children.

Now my grandmother...

By the bolts and nuts of her estate planning when my grandmother died, her daughter, my mum had full use of the £250,000. Because granny had done the hard work, now my mother has died, I today have unrestricted access to the £250,000, and when I die, my daughter would have the full £250,000.

How would you rather arrange your affairs, like my grandmother, or like my great uncle Albert?

Meet Ade Oduyemi

I've been an inheritance tax specialist for nearly four decades.

My path to this work wasn't academic. It was personal.

After earning my master's degree in finance, obtaining an FPC 6 (financial planning certificate), and working as a general financial adviser, I witnessed firsthand how proper estate planning transforms families. I saw clients like Alice, a teacher who could pursue fulfilling work because inherited income covered her basic needs. She wasn't wealthy by most standards, but she had financial security because someone in her family had planned properly.

Then I saw what happened in my own family. Same inheritance, opposite outcomes. That's when I knew this would be my life's work.

Since then, I've helped hundreds of families preserve their wealth across generations. I've seen every scenario you can imagine (and some you probably can't). I know where the pitfalls are. I know which solicitors get this wrong. I know all 251 rules, exemptions and allowances inside out.

Most importantly, I know how to keep your money in your family.

Here's what you should know about how I work:

Most solicitors handle wills. Some handle trusts. Very few specialize in the intricate tax planning that actually protects wealth across generations.

Those who do typically work in large firms with high overhead and billable hour pressures.

I'm a sole practitioner. I take on a handful of clients each month. This means I can invest the time and attention your family's financial future deserves.

Your situation is unique. Your family dynamics are unique. Your ambitions are unique.Therefore, your plan to keep your money in your family must me unique.

No templates. No one-size-fits-all solutions. Just proper planning tailored to your circumstances.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From day one, Ade Oduyemi was very informative and succinct. I truly needed to put financial and personal affairs in order and had no idea where to start. From our first phone interaction Ade listened to my wishes and was able to give me the guidance I desperately needed. I felt a weight had been lifted from my mind just from that one conversation. Ade explained the process and gave me great examples to re-inforce the recommendations suggested to give me adequate information to be able to decide on a suitable  solution. Any additional questions I raised were dealt with swiftly and always with the reassurance that no question was a foolish one or too much trouble. He has proved himself indispensable to my on-going financial planning. I highly recommend Ade.

Ade guided myself and my partner through the Will making process and thanks to his help we both have the peace of mind of having a legally valid document in place. In addition, Ade provided a My things template for me to list, in once place, the whereabouts of documents relating to my assets and kindly sent another one with a box for storing the documents for my partner. He also regularly sends a newsletter with interesting and humourous articles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is your typical client?
Couples or individuals with £1 – £5 million in assets who want to ensure their family benefits from their wealth. They’re typically homeowners with investments, pensions, or business interests. They care about who inherits their wealth and want it handled properly.
How are you different from other advisers?
I’m a specialist, not a generalist. I’ve spent nearly 40 years focused solely on estate planning and inheritance tax. I’m a sole practitioner, so I take on a handful of clients and invest more time, effort and energy in each case. Your plan is custom-built for your circumstances, not adapted from a template.
Can we meet first before committing?
Absolutely. That’s exactly what the three-step plan consultation is for. We’ll meet, review your situation, and you can decide if working together makes sense. No pressure, no obligation.
What are your payment terms?
We’ll discuss fees during your consultation based on the complexity of your situation. Estate planning is an investment in your family’s financial future. Most clients find the cost insignificant compared to the tax they save.
How long does the process take?
It varies based on your circumstances. Some plans can be implemented in weeks. More complex estates might take a few months. We’ll give you a clear timeline after your initial consultation.
