Future Planning

Planning for the Future if you have a family member with a disability

Join us for a FREE 1.5-hour event designed to inform and support individuals with a family member with a disability. This event will be held both live and virtually, making it accessible to everyone.

Our expert speakers will cover essential topics such as Special Disability Trusts, Microboards, housing and legal considerations for families and carers. These discussions will provide valuable insights into how to secure financial stability and ensure ongoing care and support.

Speakers:

Stephen Booth is a Consultant to Coleman Greig, focusing on Estate Planning. He has a particular interest in assisting families who have loved ones with intellectual disabilities or mental illness to ensure they have appropriate plans in place for the future.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from industry experts and connect with others facing similar challenges.
