Taking the “Family Care” Message to the Masses

Caesar and Howie attended the Retirement Show at the SECC this year.  This was a first for the firm.  We shared a stall with our very good friends from the Glasgow Old People’s Welfare Association – to whom we are very grateful for their co-operation.  The show pulled in a huge attendance of retired folk from all over Scotland.  Our plan was to try to get over to as many folk as we could the benefits of planning for the future and putting in place these three key legal documents for families, Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Advance Health Care Directives.  We also wanted to get over the benefits of Equity Release which we see becoming increasingly popular with our clients. 091118Terry Ann O’Donnell from Caesar and Howie ran the stall for two days.  “The level of interest in what we are trying to say to people was just fantastic” said Terry.   “Actually I was run off my feet and we completely ran out of leaflets twice and had to rush in new stocks.  What struck me is that so many people just haven’t planned for the future because they just haven’t thought about things.  Once you explain to them the benefits of taking, really the modest legal steps you need to protect families, they are keen to get on with getting them put in place.  It is pretty frightening, mind you, to find out how few people know about Powers of Attorney for example.  A lot of folk also had not really thought about the benefits of Equity Release, giving some extra cash in their later years.  But hopefully, we managed over the two days to get the message over to lots of visitors at the show.”
