SEND Futures Planning - Looking Beyond the Will
For families with a disabled child, adult child or vulnerable loved one, future planning often involves much more than deciding who inherits.
Who might step in when you are no longer there? What would they need to know? And what arrangements could help support and protect your loved one's future?
As a SEND parent herself, Angela understands why these questions matter. Through her SEND Futures Planning approach, she helps families consider the people, plans and protections that may need to be in place, taking things one manageable step at a time.

Planning for your loved one's future involves more than a Will
For families with a disabled child, adult child or vulnerable loved one, thinking about the future can bring up questions that go well beyond who inherits.
Who could step in when you are no longer there? What would they need to know? Who could take on responsibility for important decisions? And how might an inheritance be managed in a way that supports your loved one's circumstances?
Through SEND Futures Planning, Angela helps families explore these questions in a practical, manageable way, considering the people, the wider plan and the legal protections that may be appropriate.
