Financial planning should not be viewed as a one-off event, but as an ongoing process. The one certainty of any financial plan is that circumstances will continue to change. These changes may be external ones such as changes in investment markets or the economy, or changes in your personal circumstances such as your family situation or your health. It is therefore imperative that your wealth, risk and estate planning strategies are reviewed regularly.
