When you are responsible for a disabled or vulnerable person, there is added pressure to ensure that their needs will be met during your lifetime or should something happen to you.
The lawyers at Wright Hassall are experienced in working with families to protect the needs of a vulnerable person, whether they suffer from a mental, learning or physical disability. We can help in the following areas:
setting up a lifetime flexible trust to protect assets for the future
restructuring assets such as joint bank accounts to avoid future issues
setting up a discretionary trust within your will , such as a disabled persons trust, to support the future needs of the vulnerable person. By setting up a discretionary trust, the disabled or vulnerable person will not lose their entitlement to state benefits.
setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney to ensure that decisions relating to their personal welfare can be made on their behalf, should they be incapable of managing their affairs themselves.
