Complete Planning Library
The Essential Guide, IHT and Your Family, Blended Families, and Business Owners. The full library at a price that reflects buying the set rather than the parts.
For readers who want the whole picture at once: foundation, tax, family complexity, and business ownership. Each guide is a full workbook in its own right; together they cover the territory most estate planning conversations draw on.
What's in the library
Each guide is a full workbook on its own, readable without the others. There is also a through-line. The Essential Guide sets the structural ground. IHT and Your Family layers on the tax position. Blended Families addresses the relational complexity that breaks the standard template. Business Owners picks up the distinct set of decisions that business ownership creates.
Guide One
The foundation. Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, intestacy, property ownership, the basics of inheritance tax, and how the decisions fit together. For readers starting from first principles.
Individually £19.99 Read more →
Guide Two
Allowances, the RNRB, the April 2027 pension changes, gifting strategies, BPR and APR, life insurance, and the Will structures that materially change exposure. For readers whose estate might be liable.
Individually £24.99 Read more →
Guide Three
Sideways disinheritance, life interest trusts, cohabitation exposure, stepchildren, family structure mapping, and the planning tools that address the particular risks blended families face.
Individually £24.99 Read more →
Guide Four
Business Property Relief (including the 2026 changes), shareholder agreements, business LPAs, succession, AIM portfolios, liquidity planning, and the questions the standard template doesn't ask.

Planning Companion
The guides give you the substance. The Companion gives you somewhere to hold your own position. An asset register, a gift tracker, a scenario modeller with eight sliders covering the inheritance tax and asset-migration variables, and an AI assistant you can ask questions of. It is not a document-generation tool. Wills, LPAs, and trust instruments are delivered through the Arvéla advisory tiers, with the regulated legal work performed by Arvéla's chosen legal service provider.
