Planning for the future.
16th March 2022
Planning for the future is important, however if you care for a member of your family who has a disability, physical or mental health problem, addiction or long term condition, it can be even more important.
Many carers are concerned that they can provide for them financially in their will after their own passing.
The Website “vocal offers great financial advice” for carers to support their loved ones.
Planning for the future – VOCAL
It outlines many questions that carers ask:
- How will my son or daughter manage their money when I am no longer around?
- What will happen to my son or daughter’s benefits if they inherit money?
- How can I make sure my son or daughter is not taken advantage of by someone who knows about their inheritance?
- Will the social work department be able to use my son or daughter’s inheritance to pay towards the cost of care?
- What will happen if there are no other family members who can help?
- Will my son or daughter be able to stay in the family home?
At BWD Carers Service we also offer support with Power of Attorney, Wills and benefit advice.
