Life-Changing Events

Lucent’s Financial Planning:
We’ve Got Your Back

When life throws you a curveball, the financial and emotional impact can be a source of stress, confusion, or even fear.

But being prepared for life's big events can ensure stability, confidence, and peace of mind. Here are some of the common events we can help you navigate, ensuring your finances support your life, not the other way around.

Death of a Spouse

Losing a spouse is one of the hardest things anyone can go through. At this difficult time, we are here to help you navigate the emotional and financial challenges.

Getting Divorced

Divorce is one of life’s curveballs that hits you emotionally and financially. At this difficult time, we are here to help you navigate the emotional and financial fallout.

Inheriting Money

Inheriting money can be a mix of emotions—there’s the excitement of a financial windfall, but it’s often wrapped up in loss. We are here to ensure your inheritance works as hard as you do.

Leave a Financial Legacy

Leaving a financial legacy is about more than money—It’s about making sure what matters to you lives on. At Lucent, we're here to make sure your wealth reflects your values.

Personal Injury Settlement

Receiving a personal injury settlement can feel like a huge relief after a traumatic experience. We are here to ensure you can maximise your pay-out for long-term security and care.

Planning for Later Life Care

We are here to help you build the right financial plan so you can stay in control, protect your savings, and make sure you get the care you deserve—without leaving your loved ones to pick up the bill.

Selling a Business

You’ve closed one chapter—Now let’s make sure the next one’s even better. At Lucent, we are here to ensure the proceeds from your business exit work as hard as you did.

Winning the Lottery

Winning the lottery can set you up for life—there’s the excitement of a significant financial windfall, but it comes with added stress. We are here to ensure your winnings set you and your family up for life.
