Parents/Guardians

Why consider Professional Appointees?

As a caring parent you want to do everything you can to help your children, but managing financial affairs for those who lack capacity can be a daunting, complicated and stressful process. From navigating the complicated benefits system, to overseeing payment of important bills such as electricity and heating. Even the simplest financial management can turn into a demanding daily task. Professional Appointees have the experts on hand to help and support in these areas smoothly and efficiently.

At Professional Appointees, we take over the burden of financial management allowing you to play the part of mum and dad again, rather than financial manager, safe in the knowledge that your child’s financial welfare is being well looked after, now and  into the future.

End of life planning

The best inheritance we can give our children is security and this is even more true if you have a child who is deemed mentally incapable of looking after their own financial affairs. Unfortunately, the harsh truth is that as parents we will not always be around to help, and so this makes end of life planning all the more important. Children with special needs, cognitive impairments or debilitating illnesses may require lifetime assistance, which necessitates that parents prepare for their child’s care after they are no longer with us or once they are unable to care for their loved ones any longer.

What needs to be considered?

Parents have to think about the potential needs of their surviving child. Will he or she require daily custodial care or ongoing medical treatments? Will their child live alone or in a group home? Can family assume some of the care? Who will pay the bills? Who will ensure they receive the correct benefits once you are no longer here?

Answers to these and other important questions can help form the vision of what you may need to plan for in areas such as your child’s medical care and financial future. By using an independent appointee you can be assured in the knowledge that your child’s financial affairs are in trusted hands now and into the future.

Professional Appointees offers a clear, low cost fee structure for all of the above services. For just £800 per year Professional Appointees will take over all money management tasks,  from receiving and distributing benefits to ensuring that bills are paid on time.
