Some Historic Truth
The will is dead! Long live the will
It was in a time long ago in a land we have long forgot when professional wills were written only by trained members of the legal profession ‘solicitors’
It was around twenty years ago when the likes of inheritance tax became a problem for the masses, rather than the boil on the lower regions of the wealthy. At this time a new hero was desperately needed and so was born, his like is still alive if not prospering today. Enter the will writer armed with a few in will trusts he would scour the land in search of those afflicted by IHT.
Along his path of helping others, the brave will writer came across others afflicted with problems such as health care worries and untraditional family structures all he found he could aid with the same in will trust.
However a time would come when the very foundation upon which this new industry had been built would cease to exist and by so doing as bring its downfall.
The powers that be with two simple legal blows bought the entire industry to it’s knees, the first was effectively enabling the IHT threshold to double without the need of a ‘in will’ trust, the second bought about through the court failing in many cases to uphold trusts created with no fathomable purpose other than for the estate to evade legal payment of health care fees due. In a desperate fight back the will writer hung on to any remaining services lasting powers of attorney and document storage to put bread on what was once a full table.
Memories of the plight of the blacksmith or more recently the miners in the north coming to the forefront of there mind. But only the hardiest of them survive this destructive storm and only the most foolish among them will not see the light or smell the coffee, for the truth is it is time to leave will writing to the solicitors.

A Common Tale
Posted on November 28, 2011 by errol

John’s mother, Mary, had always been fiercely independent. In the years since John’s dad passed away, Mary had insisted on living on her own, and had maintained a very active lifestyle. However, as she entered her eighties, John started noticing some changes.
For one thing, his mother’s house started looking a little shabby. Nothing shocking or unsanitary, but the house was no longer as spic-and-span as she’d always kept it. Plus, the laundry started piling up, and John noticed that food was staying in Mary’s kitchen for a suspiciously long time – she wasn’t cooking for herself like she used to.
John finally grew concerned enough to talk to his mother, and found out that she was getting tired much more easily than before, and she just wasn’t physically able to keep up with all of her household tasks. John explored the options, and the solution was rather simple – a home health aide was hired to come into Mary’s house and take care of the cooking, cleaning, and laundry for several hours each week.
As our parents age, the potential need for long-term care becomes more of a reality. It’s easy to see that prospect as scary and unsettling, but it doesn’t have to be. Long-term care does not necessarily mean nursing home care. It actually encompasses a range of options, from in-home care to assisted living facilities to nursing homes.
What’s important is to be aware of changes in your aging parent’s health and lifestyle, to educate yourself about the different types of long-term care that are available, and to be ready to step in and help your mom or dad make the transition to whatever form of care is needed when the time comes.
If you’re concerned that your parent or another loved one is facing the need for long-term care, consider talking to an elder life planner. He or she can help you understand the options and help you address another potentially daunting issue – paying for care.
