Take some time to plan ahead – you won’t regret it.

Be realistic. You might not be able to achieve everything you want, but I’ll do my best to find a result that works for you.

Don’t assume anything. Speak to a professional and find out what implications it could all have.

Will I have to sell my home to pay care fees? 

Not necessarily, but make sure you understand what resources you have, what other money might be available, and what the rules are. Be clear as to why you are anxious not to sell your home, as this will help you to make choices you’re comfortable with.

How can I protect myself? 

Before you come to see me, think about what you want to be protected from, and I can then advise on the best options for you. It’s important to be realistic, as you might not be able to achieve everything you want to.

How can I protect my family?

Again, identify what it is you want to protect them from. I can tell you about the different ways that can help and also let you know about any potential limitations.
