Meet Kris Amliwala.
Chartered Financial Planner, Registered Life Planner and founder of Designer Legacy and Designer Wealth — helping UK business owners turn decades of hard work into a confident retirement and a protected bloodline.
A lifetime's work deserves more than a spreadsheet.
I'm Kris Amliwala — a Chartered Financial Planner based in Leicester and the founder of Designer Legacy and Designer Wealth. For over twelve years I've worked alongside business owners, professionals and their families, helping them make sense of the wealth they've built and the legacy they want to leave.
Designer Legacy is the natural extension of that work. It exists for the moments when wealth, family and the unexpected overlap — protecting an estate from unnecessary inheritance tax, safeguarding a family business through divorce or death, and making sure the wealth you've built stays with the people you love.
My approach blends the technical rigour of Chartered-level planning with the human focus of a Registered Life Planner. Numbers matter — but so do the conversations that sit behind them.

Three principles behind every plan.
Family first
Every plan begins with the people you love. Money is only ever a tool — legacy is about what it protects.
Life-led planning
As a Registered Life Planner, I start with your goals and values before touching a single spreadsheet.
Rigour without jargon
Chartered-level technical work, explained in language you can act on with confidence.
A planner, a speaker, a family man.
Outside of client work, Kris is an active voice in the profession — invited to speak at the MDRT Annual Conferences in USA & Canada, MDRT & The Personal Finance Society Future Vision 2024, and the NextGen Planners Global Conference in 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Above all, Kris believes that great planning is deeply personal. The best conversations rarely start with money — they start with what you want your life, and your family's life, to look like.
