We’re living longer — but not necessarily living well for longer. As life expectancy increases, so too do the complexities of later life: declining capacity, rising care needs, and difficult financial decisions. At the same time, many are supporting children who are staying financially dependent for longer, creating pressure from both directions.
How do you balance the competing interests of multi-generation families? How do you protect assets, plan for care, and ensure vulnerable family members are supported — without creating conflict or unintended consequences?
This webinar will explore the legal and practical challenges facing the “sandwich generation”, including care funding, capacity considerations, and forward planning strategies to help families navigate an uncertain future with clarity and confidence.
