Planning for the Future - Online Information Session
2020-07-28 16:00 - 17:00
Reach has partnered with Actons Solicitors to offer a free online session tailored to family carers of people with care and support needs. The session covers important topics that need to be considered when planning for the future:
The importance of making a Will

Dying without a Will often leads to a lot of confusion, distress and sometimes financial hardship for your family. A Will comes into effect at the time of your death and includes details of who should look after your estate and carry out your wishes, and who will benefit from your estate.
The importance of making a Lasting Power of Attorney
Planning for the future means preparing for the unexpected – as you grow older, you may need others to make important decisions for you. A Lasting Power of Attorney is a vital tool that allows you to make arrangements for your future, in the event that you are not mentally or physically able to.
Setting up a Trust
Trusts are commonly used to manage a variety of assets for a number of different reasons including long term care needs. As a result, more individuals are creating Trusts for estate planning purposes.

For further information or to book please contact Laura at laura.carr@reachuk.org or call 01636 819066.
