By the sound of it harvey is only a small part of the messages. Lots of messages back and forth about each other, other people in the station etc and probably and headlines . She probably had to be notified as he was identified,

I can imagine so, she's not even aware that other people might be affected too and might not want the entire public trying to find out what all the jokes were.

I believe AFP & KFP are trustees. I wonder what sort of Trust fund was set up initially? Dwight nor KFP knew the full extent of Harvey's disabilities until he was 3-4 years of age. Pretty sure, IF peter did pay into the fund. Claire would have made sure the fund was free from KFP's grubby hands having access to it.

CHILDREN WITH DISABILITY
HOW PARENTS & CARERS CAN PLAN FOR THE FUTURE

If you have a child with a disability such as cerebral palsy or autism, planning for their future can seem daunting. Although it may be hard to imagine a time when you won’t be around to care for your child, you will naturally want to ensure that they are taken care of.

In this information sheet we cover the issues you need to consider:

Why you need to make a will

What you must consider when having a will drawn up.

The use of trusts in planning for your child’s future.

With years of experience, we can help by showing you the options available to you so that you take the best course of action for your family situation.

ISSUES TO CONSIDER

Most of us would like to pass on our hard earned money and property to our dependants. However if you leave money outright to an adult with learning or development disabilities it can give rise to a range of problems: -

If the adult does not have the capacity to deal with their own money, they will be unable to give a legal receipt for it and this will result in someone having to make an application to the Court of Protection for a Deputy to be appointed to deal with their financial affairs. This can be a time-consuming and expensive process. (Money that could be used for your dependent’s future ends up being eaten up by court fees). Also once appointed, the Deputy would be expected to declare the inherited money when applying for any state funding, which might result in withdrawal of that funding.

If the adult does not fully understand the notion of money or its value, then they may not use it in appropriate ways and may be susceptible to third parties looking to take advantage of them.

An outright inheritance may affect the adult’s means tested benefits. A lump sum of money could mean that the adult has their benefits reduced or stopped. If they have more than £16,000 in capital, they will lose any means tested benefits. So although you may be giving money to improve their finances, you may not achieve your intended result.

Sometimes a client will say that as they can’t see how their money would benefit their dependent with a learning disability, they will simply make no provision whatsoever and leave their estate to their other family members. However, proper consideration should be given to the extent of provision to be made for a dependent with learning or development disabilities. If insufficient provision is made, whether through a will or otherwise, then the local authority may take it upon themselves to bring a claim on behalf of your dependent under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act stating that you have not made reasonable provision for your dependent. So it would be unwise simply to ignore the issue.

Often clients suggest that money for their dependents should be given to another family member who will look after them. Care is needed here as a gift in this way would be treated as a gift to that person outright and they could use it in whatever way they wanted. Therefore if they no longer wished to care for your dependent, they would not have to, or if their financial circumstances changed, through a divorce or bankruptcy, then the money could be at risk. Another risk is the investment of funds, particularly in the current climate, would the person have the experience to invest it properly?

Ok but my thinking was....a trust fund usually has special purposes like protecting money from taxes, it's very complex to set up and usually has a solicitor as one of the trustees. So I just can't see Dwight's solicitors dropping a huge clanger and letting KP and AFP being fully in charge of that!
