Why do this?
Who else is going to plan for your special needs child’s future?
To help you create your very own plan I have listed the top 10 areas you should address;
- Clarify if you are availing of the full range of entitlements, grants and tax credits
- Ensure future entitlements are not revoked
- Update your will and check that it is set up correctly
- Defining “Fair & Equal” asset distribution between all your children
- Plan to transition the caring & financial responsibilities before you pass away
- Decide when to set up a Special Needs Trust
- Fund your Trust out of entitlements & start as soon as possible
- Write an effective Letter of Wishes to direct your Guardians & Trustees
- Understand the Capacity Bill 2013 & its implications for your child
- Build financial security for all the family.
