Why we are so glad we put our property in a trust or transfer
Ian Stewart, 75, Glasgow Organised a Will, Power of Attorney and Protected Property Trust (PPT)
“We discussed our Wills, Power of Attorney and Protected Property Trust. We felt this was needed too as we don’t wish to lose our home if one of us goes into a care home. We now own 50% each of the property, but if we didn’t the local authority could take the house to pay for care. Now our family – two children and two grandchildren – will still benefit from the inheritance. We have done all we can now, and it was a very smooth process. All our paperwork was taken care of by ILAWS and the information was explained in a clear and concise way. It is absolutely essential that you do have these things – as we are all living longer. A Will, Power of Attorney or PPT is like insurance – you don’t want to use it, but it is there if you need it.”

“It is unfair on ourselves and our family to lose the legacy we have built up over 40 years to pay for care which is free to others. Once this process is in place and you’ve got the legal documents back, you’ll get a great sense of relief knowing that regardless of what happens, your personal legacy will be left to the people of your choosing. ILAWS made us feel very comfortable and at ease with the entire process, from start to finish.”

“We explained what we were interested in and ILAWS talked us through Will documents, Power of Attorney documents and a Protected Property Trust, which was very reassuring in safeguarding our home should either of us need to go into care. The advice we got on a Protected Property Trust was very clear and made total sense to us. That protects us from being forced to sell to meet care bills and that has been very reassuring. It took three months from start to finish to finalise and we’ve been very happy with ILAWS’ service, which has also given us real peace of mind.”

“It’s about peace of mind that this was getting drafted by a competent firm who had a great technique and listened to what I wanted, not what they thought I wanted. ILAWS’ explanation at every level was first class. They are excellent communicators. They set us very much at ease from the very beginning that they would take care of all our wishes, everything we wanted, and they would draft everything exactly how we wanted it. I couldn’t fault them.”
