Someone who's planning for this stage of life too, not just advising on it.
Andy Rowden is over 55 himself, navigating the same choices you are. He works directly with every client from the first conversation through to completion, providing advice that truly understands your stage of life.
I understand because I'm living it too.
Planning for later life isn't just about documents. It's about the people you care about, the things you've built and the decisions you want to make about your future.
That's why Andy takes a personal approach to helping families understand their options.
A career built around helping people plan with confidence.
With over 25 years of experience as a qualified Financial Adviser, I've spent my career helping families plan for their future.
I realised that while many people had great financial plans, their legal estate planning was often outdated or missing entirely.
That's why I became a Qualified Will Writer and partnered with a specialist estate planning firm to create Your Secured Legacy.
Working alongside our sister company, The Financial Detectives, we ensure that your financial and legal planning work together seamlessly.
Financial planning is only part of the picture.
Many people have spent years putting financial plans in place, but their legal estate planning may not have kept pace with the rest of their lives.
