Equity Release Are you looking to unlock money tied up in your home? The words ‘Equity Release’ can often strike fear into many. Worries such as “Will I still own my own home?”, “Can I be evicted from my house?”, “Will there be anything left when I die?” and “What happens if I go into care?” are perfectly normal concerns to have. Age Concern Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan are pleased to be working with award winning Equity Release specialists, Bower Retirement Services, who are able to provide you with the facts and separate the good guys from the bad. They provide true independent advice on Equity Release products and explain exactly how the products work and if it might be suitable for you.

Funeral Plans It’s often something that we would rather not think about or discuss with our loved ones, but planning for the future by considering a pre-paid funeral plan can offer much needed peace of mind for you and your family. With an advant-age funeral plan from the UK’s largest independent provider Golden Charter, you choose the funeral plan you want and pay for it at today’s prices, relieving your family of any worries and uncertainty at what will inevitably be a distressing time. You will have made the arrangements in advance and taken care of the costs.
Age Concern Cardiff and The Vale of Glamorgan
Funeral costs are soaring but paying in advance can ease the pain for families and allow you to beat inflation which can offer substantial savings in the future. There are differing levels of packages available and you can tailor a funeral to your personal requirements in advance, incorporating personal touches or alternative ideas. There are also various options as far as payment for a plan is concerned, for example paying in one lump sum or setting up monthly installments. Age Concern Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan can help organise funeral plans and offer free home visits to explain all options involved to determine which is best suited to your personal needs.
Will Writing Scheme An Affordable Will Writing Scheme from Age Concern Making a will is one of the most important things you can do. So it makes complete sense to avoid any further grief and potential conflict

Flowers in Memoriam Asking for donations instead of flowers at your funeral is another way in which you can support Age Concern Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. We guarantee that your gift will bring long lasting benefit to older people in Cardiff and the Vale. If you would like your friends and family to remember you with donations to Age Concern instead of flowers at your funeral ensure you express your wishes to them or include this instruction in your Will or to your Executor. We would like to express our gratitude to the families of those who have already raised thousands of vital pounds towards Age Concern Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan from their funeral donations. This money goes a long long way in your local community.
Leave a Legacy At Age Concern we know that caring for your family is your first priority and that choosing who to remember in your Will is a big decision. Making a Will is the best and simplest way to safeguard everyone’s future and ensure your assets go to the people and causes close to your heart. It’s a common misconception that you
have to be wealthy to leave a legacy. Legacies form a vital contribution to our charity and even a small proportion of what is left over, after your family is taken care of, will have a huge impact helping our charity continue to run crucial services for many years to come. If like us, you feel passionately that your support should remain in the local area and help those in need living in your communities. Please consider leaving a gift in your Will to Age Concern Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. Every penny donated to our charity is spent locally and will go towards helping the many thousands of older people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan who desperately need our help.

How do I protect my home and assets from care costs? A shocking statistic is that it is estimated that 70,000 people every year have to sell their homes to pay for care. Th ankfully with a little planning both your home and savings can be protected. Th ere are a number of simple strategies that can ensure the protection of your property and investments so the sooner you act on this the better. Assess your eligibility for local authority assistance and state benefi ts - Your home may have to be sold to pay for your Long Term Care costs. Understand how the Government’s new proposals for the reform of long-term care funding will aff ect you and your family - Any income would be assessed and used towards the cost of your care, your savings and investments could be wiped out. Implement strategies to protect the family home from being depleted by care costs - Your children and grandchildren could lose their entire inheritance. Explore funding options – such as equity release which will allow you to unlock capital in your home so that you can live the retirement you want to live without jeopardising your security. We can advise on all aspects of care planning and will provide you with the correct strategy to ensure that all your assets are protected.
Want to release cash safely from your home to enjoy your retirement? Want advice on the best tailor made plan for you? Equity release allows you to convert some of the equity in your home into cash in your hands without you having to sell up or move out, leaving the remainder for your childrens inheritance. Whilst your home may be your greatest asset and possibly the most successful investment you have made it is of no use to you unless it can be released so that you can enjoy what should be the best years of your life. Simply release cash to enjoy your retirement.
Equity release is a big decision and might not be the best or the only solution for you.

Your autumn years open new chapters in life - they bring new opportunities and life changing life changing events whether through choice or imposition. You may be fortunate to experience a second chance in love. If so, you may wish to consider a prenuptial agreement to record how you both agree assets and income would be treated in the event that a new marriage proves unsuitable for you. You may feel the desire to protect and provide for your loved ones, when you are no longer with them. Having a professionally draft ed Will ensures that your specifi c wishes to provide for both your surviving partner and your loved ones can be accommodated. You can dictate your care and fi nancial aff airs in the event that you become unable to make decisions for yourself, by donating a Lasting power of attorney to one or more trusted parties. Th ese legal arrangements do not have to become active unless and until you are no longer able to decide for yourself through ill-health or lack of mental capacity. However, should you not have in place an eff ective Lasting Power of Attorney, in the event of your loss of mental capacity, your closest family or friends would have to make the comparatively expensive and lengthy application to the Court of Protection for a Court Order to attend to your aff airs. Legal aid is so restricted, few will now qualify. Specialist Family Lawyer, Rebecca Oakley brings her extensive experience to bear on this new legal landscape, off ering a pioneering type of Family Law Service. Rebecca off ers bespoke representation, dealing with her directly, with flexible appointments including evenings and weekends.
