Essential Later Life and Care Fees Planning

Essential Later Life and Care Fees Planning

The UK's average life expectancy is increasing and thanks to modern medicine, nutrition and healthier lifestyles we are now living longer than ever before. While the prospect of living longer is what most people wish for, it has to be recognised that there are a number of financial and legal implications that go with it.

With the continuing social care budget cuts and the growth of the ageing population, planning for later life has never been more important – because the 'risk' of living longer, but in poorer health, has become greater. We are all likely to need some type of care in our final years, so it's important to build a financial strategy to ensure your future care and well-being is catered for.

On Wednesday 29th May, Clapham & Collinge Solicitors and SG Wealth Management held a free lunchtime seminar on 'Essential Later Life and Care Planning' which explored a range of legal and financial measures you can take to make provisions for care in later life, providing you with peace of mind at a time when it's needed most.

During the seminar John Griffin, Solla Accredited Wealth Manager at SG Wealth Management discussed funding options for long term care, care fees planning and safeguarding capital. Private Client Solicitor Lauren Abbs highlighted a range of legal measures to make provisions for later life including the importance of making a Will, Lasting Powers of Attorneys and Trusts.
