\u201cSome end up losing their home and other assets to pay for care fees, resulting in a significantly reduced inheritance pot for their loved ones when they eventually pass on. This can be easily avoided through careful planning, which will allow individuals to pass on their assets to their families intact.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur seminar will highlight some of the key points to consider when planning for the future. We will go into detail about how making simple Wills may not be enough, how Trusts can be used to protect assets such as the family home, why Lasting Powers of Attorneys should be part of everyone\u2019s future plans and how planning ahead can mitigate Inheritance Tax liabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The seminar is free to attend, open to anyone, and will take place from 9:30am on Thursday 20th July 2017 at the Carlton Park Hotel in Rotherham.<\/strong> Pre-booking is essential and can be done by contacting Brendan Hall, Marketing Manager at Sutton McGrath Hartley on 01709 872106<\/strong> or bhall@smh.group<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
