Disabled Person’s Trusts in Wills: Protecting a Loved One’s Future

Do you have a loved one living with a disability or additional vulnerabilities?
Planning for their future financial security is an important consideration, particularly when thinking about what may happen after your death. Without careful planning, leaving an inheritance directly to a beneficiary could, in some circumstances, affect access to certain means-tested benefits they may be entitled to.

A Disabled Person’s Trust can be included within your Will to help provide financial support in a way that reflects your loved one’s individual needs. Rather than receiving assets outright, funds are managed by appointed trustees who act in the beneficiary’s best interests.
Trust funds can be used to support a range of needs, including care, therapies, specialist equipment, housing adaptations, education, and other costs that improve quality of life. Putting the correct arrangements in place can provide reassurance that your loved one’s future is protected.

If you would like advice about Disabled Person’s Trusts or Wills, our team is here to help.

☕🍰 Macmillan Coffee Morning Success! 🍰☕

A huge thank you and well done to everyone who supported and took part in our Macmillan Coffee Morning across all five Clarkes Solicitors offices.

Together, we are delighted to have raised an incredible £531.38 for Macmillan Cancer Support, helping to fund the vital work they do for people affected by cancer.

A special mention goes to our Newport office, which raised the highest amount on the day. Our Shifnal and Shrewsbury teams also enjoyed fantastic support after opening their doors to members of the public, who joined local businesses and the Clarkes team for plenty of tea, coffee, cake and conversation.

It was wonderful to see so many familiar and new faces coming together, enjoying some delicious homemade treats, and supporting such an important cause.

Thank you to everyone who baked, donated, attended and helped make the event such a success. We are proud to support our local communities and an amazing charity that makes a real difference to so many lives.

MYTH OR FACT?

So, this question is about whether your spouse will inherit your assets on death if you have not made your will.

In respect of assets and property held in your own name then the answer to this is both “Myth” and “Fact” and which depends on whether you have children or not. Either way without a will in place you rely on the law to say what happens to your assets when you die.

If you leave a spouse and you do not have children then FACT the law provides that assets that you own in your sole name will pass to your spouse.

If, however, you leave a spouse and children, and your estate is above £322,000 then the answer is “ Myth” your spouse does not automatically inherit everything. Instead, the entitlement is as follows:

• Your personal items to your spouse.
• A legacy of £322000 to your spouse
• If your estate exceeds £322000 the amount above £322000 is split into two equal shares and your spouse receives one of the shares so half of the sum about £322000. The other half goes to your children.
