We recently did our will and discussed this trust thing. We were advised that if you do it too near the time of going into any sort of care facility it could be seen as deliberately trying to avoid care fees and Social services could and probably would take legal action to recover the fees. apparently this has to be done well in advance of needing care (but how does one calculate this). The fee for arranging all this was in excess of £3K so we just updated the will and did our Powers of Attorney at the same time.
