DISABLED TRUST
Disabled Trusts If there is someone in your family with a disability, you may be concerned about how they will cope in the future when you're no longer there to care for them. If you leave them your estate the effect could be that the money would immediately remove some Social Services means tested benefits, Local Authority support may also cease without any improvement to their lifestyle. Through simple estate planning you can leave money to secure the future of a loved one without reducing their entitlement to Social Security benefits or Local Authority funding of residential care.
A Discretionary Trust can be set up by parents (or other relatives) as a way of making long term financial provision for a disabled child. The reason a Trust is useful is that the capital held in the Trust is not taken into account when assessing entitlement to state benefits like Income Support or Local Authority obligations to fund care. Trusts are used to pay for extra things which Social Security benefits may not fund, a holiday, new clothes, electrical goods, special equipment. Importantly a trust can also hold, manage and maintain the parental home if put into the trust. To discuss Disabled Trusts in more detail and ensure suitability call for a free no-obligation chat.
