Mention of these in a couple of threads made me investigate one for Mum and put one in place while she still has capital to pay for the type of funeral she would expect. I personally am not awash with cash and the only one so it is all down to me.
Court of protection says they do not favour plans as there have been problems but are willing for me to go ahead anyway providing I am happy with the terms. An Age Concern paper says taking out a plan could be seen as deprivation of assets. They get you at every turn don't they. I am taking this plan out while there is money still there - dwindling fast due to care home fees- I only wish I had thought of it earlier. In my ever practical way I want to think about this now while I can cope with thinking about the cost and not when the times comes and I am too upset to think about anything.
Anybody any experience.
regards as ever Geraldine
