Getting your affairs in order

No one ever plans to be sick or disabled and no one ever thinks about becoming an unpaid carer for that person.

Making healthcare, legal and financial planning decisions for someone who you care for can be overwhelming. Being prepared can give everyone peace of mind, help ensure the wishes of the cared for are honoured and ease the burden on you, the unpaid carer.

The following are services we suggest you contact to plan ahead:

Financial planners – Society of Later Life Advisors (SOLLA)

Funeral arrangers – Having a funeral plan

Property Advisors – Plan your home move

Solicitors – Plan for your estate and finances
