Wills and Trusts support

It’s natural to worry what will happen to your loved ones when you are no longer around — even more so when your loved one has a learning disability and/or autism.

What is this service?

Wills and Trusts Service

Mencap’s Wills and Trusts is here to offer you free information and guidance on how to make sure your child is provided for when you’re no longer around.

Free Wills and Trusts Guides

We've created some great guides to help you find the right solution for your child’s future.

Free Seminars

We hold 30 seminars a year across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. You may also book a place at one of our free Planning for the Future seminars, held across the UK.

Our free seminars offer families:

  • support and information from Mencap’s Wills & Trusts Service

  • the opportunity to hear from a solicitor who specialises in this complex area of law

  • the chance to meet other families who are in a similar situation.

Protect their future

If you’ve been thinking about setting up a trust for a family member who has a learning disability (and/or autism), and you want to:

  • safeguard their benefits and entitlements

  • ensure legal or financial responsibility for your family member is not placed on family or friends

  • make allowances for unforeseen family circumstances that could prevent other family members taking on the trust — like poor health or premature death

  • appoint a trustee who is well informed about learning disability rights and the needs of people with a learning disability

  • choose a permanent, professional body who is experienced in trust law
