This special live episode was recorded at our Money Matters event in Edinburgh, bringing together expert voices across law, property and financial planning for a grounded, real-life conversation about money.
Hosted by Kylie, this panel cuts through the noise to explore how women can build, structure and protect wealth with more clarity and confidence – no jargon, just practical advice you can actually use.
Featuring Hayley Robertson (Brodies LLP), Ben Di Rollo (Niksen Property) and Jack Ferguson (Melville Independent), the conversation connects the dots between legal planning, property decisions and long-term financial strategy – and why thinking about these things earlier than you might expect can make all the difference.
Together, they share:
Why financial planning isn’t just about growing wealth, but protecting yourself and your family when life doesn’t go to plan.
The importance of having a legally sound will – and the risks of trying to do it yourself.
How and when to put a power of attorney in place, and why it matters more than you think.
Why starting a pension early can dramatically change your future options.
The realities of buying property with a partner – and why having agreements in place is essential.
How small decisions now can shape your financial freedom later.
There are also some powerful, personal moments – including Hayley’s story, which brings into sharp focus why putting the right protections in place isn’t something to leave until later.
This is an honest, accessible conversation designed to help you feel more informed, more prepared and more in control of your financial future.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about pensions, property, legal planning or where to even start with “getting your finances in order”, this episode will leave you clearer on what matters – and what to do next.
