Free Estate Planning Advice in Berkshire

Planning for the future is essential, yet many people in Berkshire are unaware of the financial risks they face if they don’t have a Will, Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), or Trust in place. To help local residents protect their assets, Free Estate Planning advice in Berkshire is now available from 3rd March to 7th March, offering expert guidance on securing homes and savings from unexpected care costs.

Why Estate Planning is Essential

Without a proper estate plan, your home, savings, and inheritance could be at risk. Many families are unaware that care fees, legal costs, and taxes can significantly reduce the value of their estate. Free Estate Planning in Berkshire is now being offered to help residents take proactive steps to protect their financial future and ensure their assets are passed on to their loved ones.

What Does the Free Advice Cover?

This initiative, supported by Later Living Helpline and expert estate planners, offers guidance on:

✔️ Wills – Ensuring your estate is distributed according to your wishes and avoiding the rules of intestacy.
✔️ Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) – Appointing someone you trust to make financial and health-related decisions if you become unable to.
✔️ Trusts – Legally protecting your home and savings from care fees while securing your family’s inheritance.

The Growing Cost of Self-Funded Care in Berkshire

With the average cost of care homes in Berkshire exceeding £1,300 per week, many families wrongly assume that the NHS will cover care costs. However, unless a person qualifies for NHS Continuing Healthcare, they will be expected to self-fund their care.

According to Age UK, around 41% of care home residents are paying for their own care, often by selling their homes. Estate planning offers legal strategies to help homeowners protect their assets from being completely depleted by care costs.
