Planning for vulnerable beneficiaries

Provision for a beneficiary who may not be able to manage an inheritance directly.

Where a beneficiary has a disability, a health condition, or is simply young, an outright gift may not be in their interests and can affect other support they receive.

Arrangements exist to hold assets for their benefit instead. These are technical, and the right structure depends entirely on the individual's circumstances.

Things worth considering

  • An outright inheritance may affect means-tested support
  • Trustee selection is as important as the structure chosen
  • Reviews are needed as circumstances change
