Equity Release schemes are only one of the ways to help self-finance long-term care.
Make sure you’ve considered all the alternatives, such as selling your property to downsize to a cheaper one or using savings to buy an annuity that will cover your care costs.
Consider grants or subsidised loans if you’re raising capital for home improvements or modifications.
Discussing your plans with your family can help to manage their expectations about inheritance and avoid any disputes later. They may also be able to come up with alternatives.
