"Co-Op Legal’s estate planning team is offering a talk to parents and carers, with a focus on access to legal information and guidance.

The law can be a scary subject, but this talk hopes to provide insight into some important legal issues, that many of us will have to face as we get older, in a light-hearted and jargon-free manner.

The talk will cover the following areas:

Protecting your home and savings - For many people, one of the biggest worries as they grow old is being able to give their family a helping hand and make sure that when they die, what they have worked all their life for goes to the people they love the most. Care fees can have a significant effect on this, and we’ll explain how it works and what steps you can take to protect your estate.

Inheritance tax – “Only two things in life are certain… death and taxes”. We can’t help with the former, but when it comes to Inheritance Tax, we can help explain how people can be impacted, and some simple steps to take that may reduce the burden.

‘Sideways disinheritance’ and blended families - Re-marriage of a surviving spouse can inadvertently result in the new husband/wife inheriting everything, whilst the children from the first marriage get nothing. With blended families being commonplace today, it’s never been more important to take steps to ensure your chosen beneficiaries inherit. We’ll explain how.

Lasting Powers of Attorney - No one wants to think about what will happen if they become unable to make decisions themselves through illness, an accident or old age. However, thinking about this now and planning ahead will remove the burden from your family and help reduce the stress and cost to your family at a very difficult time.
