Investing in the right advice upfront can save you thousands. When it’s time for a parent or loved one to go into aged care in Melbourne, or if you’re planning for your own future, it can be incredibly daunting and stressful. It can be a real nightmare to figure out the logistical and financial side of aged care, let alone the emotional side.
I am often asked why someone would pay for advice when you can access plenty of free information from the relevant Government agencies and authorities. Whilst true that there is information is out there and freely available, it is generic in nature and not specific to your circumstances. By investing in the right advice upfront through engaging a specialist in the field, you will receive thorough, expert options from someone who knows the system inside out, and back-to-front and this advice can save you from making incredibly costly mistakes.
In fact, we often spend time ‘rescuing’ people who simply haven’t used the system to their advantage – and who have paid far more in fees than they ever should have, over many years. It’s not a nice position to be in to find out down the track, that you could have saved thousands (or even kept the family home!).
By making an investment upfront, to get the professional advice you need from the start, really can make a massive difference to your long-term financial stability – and will allow you to make the right decisions for you and your family.
