Care Fees
1 in 3 people over the age of 65 currently require care the cost of which can be astronomical.
Legislation has often been uncertain and appears to be constantly under review. In a similar way to Inheritance Tax Planning such uncertainty manifests itself in a lack of action and planning.
These two issues, Care Fees and Inheritance Tax planning should be considered in an integrated approach rather than in isolation.
It is possible to purchase immediate care annuity’s to help meet the cost of care but these are only suitable in certain situations.
Prefunded care plans are also available whereby an insurance is taken out whilst a person is healthy and in advance of any care being required. Such plans have increased in cost significantly in recent years.
