Trust fund for disabled child

Hi there we have a beautiful child who is who has severe communication problems,non verbal with no danger awareness. He also has a serious chronic health problem and will always need 24 hour care.
We want to start a trust fund for the future as we are terrified thinking of what will happen when we are gone. We want to save monthly and make older siblings appointees in future when they are all adults.
Would really appreciate other peoples knowledge,thanks.

  • Hi Polly I think you may need to see a financial advisor to set up trust fund to ensure you get the maximum return and it is tax efficient. It would also be necessary to see a family solicitor who specialises in trusts and making up a will with your intentions regarding all of your children. By doing this you would ensure everything is done properly and to your requirements.
