Protect Your Family’s Inheritance Against Care Home Fees

Friendly and compassionate service Wills Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) Probate / Estate Administration

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.

Concerned care fees may reduce your family’s inheritance?

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.

Plan ahead and achieve peace of mind today with

The 7 Year Myth

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.

Initial advice is free of charge and without obligation. Call Elaine Leadbetter on 01253 860024.

lackpool’s bubbliest event is back for its third year as Bubble Rush returns to Lawsons Showground in April, raising money for Brian House Children’s Hospice.

Bubble Rush is a 5km course which can be run, walked, hopped, skipped or jumped, interspersed with four coloured bubble stations, bellowing out heaps of frothy bubbles from high-powered foam cannons.

Brian House’s Events Fundraiser Kayleigh Penn said 'Bubble Rush is a really exciting familyfriendly event so we’re thrilled to be putting it on again for Brian House. There’s always such a fantastic atmosphere at this event as people get absolutely covered in bubbles – you can hear the laughter and see the smiles on their faces as they go through each bubble station, just having such a good time while helping us to raise much-needed money for the Fylde coast’s only children’s hospice.'

Good clean fun Bubble Rush returns for Brian House

are living with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.

All proceeds from Bubble Rush will go to the hospice, which needs more than £1.2m each year to stay open.

Everyone taking part is encouraged to raise sponsorship to help the event make as much money for the local children and their families who need Brian House.

Last year more than 1,500 people took part in Bubble Rush, which raised £50,000. Brian House The event is suitable for all ages and will be held on is the only children’s hospice for the Fylde coast, Saturday 6th April.
