Transact is cutting prices for the 19th time in 18 years by extending our family linking policy to accept linking requests for siblings, partners of siblings, and nieces and nephews from 1 April 2026.
This pricing update is part of our commitment to responsible pricing and follows feedback from advisers for more support around intergenerational planning. The important change makes our family linking policy clearer and gives greater flexibility when advising families.
Benefits of family linking
- Potential reductions in platform costs for clients
- Makes access to advice more viable for clients with less money
- Focusses client conversations on the importance of intergenerational wealth planning.
- Can be used to help nurture client relationships for the long-term
- Boosts client retention as wealth passes between generations.
Why It Matters
Set against a backdrop of complex family structures, an ageing society, changes to the treatment of defined contribution pensions for IHT purposes, care costs and the cost-of-living crisis, the importance of estate planning remains vital to efficiently transfer wealth between generations. Making these changes means that more clients can benefit from family linking, supporting intergenerational wealth management.
