What impact will it have on my family?
Taking out an equity release plan could leave your family with little or nothing to inherit from your property. You need to be comfortable with this possible outcome, and may wish to discuss it with them before committing yourself. You may also want to consider including your family in any discussions you have with your financial adviser or your solicitor.
You may be considering to release equity from your home to help younger family members get on to the property ladder or pay for school or university fees etc. If this is the case, you need to consider the implications of releasing the equity now, as it will not be available later on should you need it for other purposes.
You can also get information from individual Equity Release Council members or from other qualified advisory firms.
