Family plans
Planning for the future is one of the most important things that a family can do for their loved ones.
Housing should be an important part of any future plan.Many families recognise that one of the best ways to plan for the future is to use their own resources to secure housing that meets an individual’s current and future needs.
A discretionary trust can be one way that families can be sure there is provision for a person with a learning disability without adversely affecting entitlements such as benefits.
GLH is working in partnership with Mencap to develop ways properties can be left in trust that ensure:
- Flexibility - to respond to changing circumstances and needs
- Sustainability - through ensuring that properties can be properly managed and that there is a regular income to cover property maintenance.
- Compliance - with statutory and legal issues in respect of property letting and management.
If you would like to know more about leaving a property in a discretionary trust, please contact us to arrange to speak to one of our specialist housing advisors.
