Personal Finance Experts for Home Care & Wills - The People's Friend

Take care before you “splash the cash “ at Christmas There’s more to Money Gifts than meets the eye – even just for children at Christmas and other special dates in the calendar. To learn more, buy the 6 December issue of the People's Friend available in superstores and TG Jones (formerly WH Smith) now. (My People’s Friend Money Pages, which I have been producing since 2017, are normally in the first weekly issue of every month). In the latest, I focus on the perils and pitfalls of giving money away. (But of course, this can make you feel good too). Thank you to Stewart Stretton-Hill, of law firm Irwin Mitchell for his special insight on the thorny issue of what gifts people who hold powers of attorney. are allowed to make. He really shone a light on this neglected area in his “Ask the Expert” column. As a law graduate, I learnt quite a bit too from his column. My thoughts now turn to the next few The People’s Friend Money Page ‘spreads. They include: how to avoid scams and discounts and a beginners’ guide to pensions. Every month, I seek experts who can comment on or give advice on any of these issues or write a reply to the “Ask the Expert” section (180 words – typically about five sentences). I particularly need experts on financing home care (at home or residential) as well as on Making a Will. And I am also always looking for new themes for the Money Page (which appears 12 times a year (the first week’s edition of the month of this weekly publication). First published in 1869, The People’s Friend is one of the UK’s longest running magazine titles. Do you think any areas of personal finance, including law, pensions and property, have been neglected and deserve a wider hearing? Now’s your chance to rectify that. Message me with your feature suggestions. The People’s Friend, is a weekly magazine published by D C Thompson & Co with some 200,000 mainly women readers. #Laterlife #financialplanning #financialjournalism #publicrelations #financialadvice #pensions #ifa #wealthmanagment #pensions #scams #retaildiscounts #banks #moneygifts #money #personalfinance #insurance #generalinsurane #homeinsurance #buildingandcontents #Christmas #children #consumerlaw #consumerprotection
