Protect Your Family’s Inheritance Against Care Home Fees We spend our working lives providing for our families, paying taxes and saving for retirement. Many of us fear that our children’s inheritance will be lost to pay for Care Home fees in later life. The 7 Year Myth Some people believe that transferring their home into their children’s names prevents the Local Authority from including the property in their assessment for care fees if the gift was made more than 7 years ago. THIS IS A MYTH. The so-called “7 year rule” does not apply to Local Authority means tests for care fees. Property Protection Trust Wills The Wills and Trusts Lawyer can enable you to legally safeguard at least 50% of the value of your home being lost to fund care home fees. The cost is just £575 per couple – typically around only one week’s care home fees.
Wills from £90 Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)
(Property & Finance LPA; Health & Welfare LPA)
from £120 for one or £195 for both Concerned care fees may reduce your family’s inheritance?
Plan ahead and achieve peace of mind today with
Property Protection Trust Wills - £575 per couple Home visits and evening appointments welcome Friendly and compassionate service

Couple toast new ‘Brush & Tipple’ business
A

had become popular in the USA. We liked the idea of a business that would give us the chance to be social, get involved in local communities and become financially independent. We had also been struck over the years by the creative energy and growing art scene in Blackpool and wider Lancashire.
Tom Heubner and his wife Kim recently launched their Brush & Tipple party company with the support of Blackpool Council’s Get Started team.
“Setting up your own business is a big step to take and can be scary. However, there is a tremendous amount of support available to help new companies. Blackpool Council’s Get Started team are a valuable source of information and practical advice. We have enjoyed access to network meetings and training courses presented by industry experts.”
The parties offer a simple, instructor led art experience in informal social venues such as pubs and community centres in Blackpool and across Lancashire. Corporate team building events are also available. Originally from Zimbabwe, the husband and wife team left their home in South Africa in 2016 to join their extended family in the UK. Kim is the artist in the family, with a degree in art and graphic design and experience of running her own advertising company. Tom worked in sales and marketing for companies such as IBM, Novell and Microsoft. Tom, explained: “Since arriving in the UK, we have been looking for a business that could use both Kim’s artistic talents and my own marketing experience. “We were already aware that Paint and Sip parties
The couple plan to get Brush & Tipple events running regularly across the North West and are looking in the future to recruit artists and creative individuals to help grow the business. Cllr Mark Smith, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Enterprise and Economic Development, said: “It is very exciting to see so many new businesses launching. There is a real dynamic feeling about the town and the surrounding area. “I am delighted that once again the Get Started team has been able to provide advice that a fledgling business really values. I wish Kim and Tom every success with their new venture and would say to anyone who is also thinking about starting a new venture just give our business team a call.”
