Renaissance Legal’s specialist benefits team will be delivering a seminar on ‘Welfare Benefits explained for Trustees, Attorneys and Deputies’ with STEP Sussex in June 2021.

The world of welfare benefits is complex and confusing, for both professionals and their clients.  When managing finances for a client or family member who receives welfare benefits, it’s crucial that your knowledge is up to date, especially when dealing with some of the trickier technical aspects, such as the effect on benefits of capital or the existence of a trust.

The webinar, delivered by Renaissance Legal’s Amy Swinnerton, will cover:

•         Demystifying the benefits you are most likely to come across
•         Which benefits are protected by the existence of a trust
•         What responsibilities you have to the DWP or local council
•         Benefits and capital
•         Which trusts are best for protecting welfare benefits
•         Being aware of the deprivation of capital rules
•         What might go wrong. Common problems and helpful tips
