Retirees
Did you know?
Between 2006-07 there were 14,000 grandparent families caring for 18,900 grandchildren. It is a situation fraught with legal and financial difficulties, and many grandparents are thrust into the role without a lot of consultation.

At this stage in life, your family has grown up and most probably have their own lives and family to focus. You’ve walked away from work or may be working part-time to keep yourself active. Your focus has shifted from work to enjoying pastimes or hobbies, whatever it may be, you’re now enjoying the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
You may feel The Global Financial Crisis of recent years has really affected your plans and for some, it may have delayed your retirement. You may be particularly cautious about the future and may have become more and more risk averse over the recent years.
A financial plan is essential in retirement, as is regularly reviewing your plan to ensure that as legislation changes, your strategies can be altered to adapt to the changes.
If something happened to your adult son or daughter, and they weren’t insured, you’d probably want to make sure your grandchildren were looked after financially, whether you become the legal guardian or play a supportive role.
Talk to your children, we can help ensure they have adequate cover in place.
