MEET MICHAEL
Clear guidance from someone who understands the complexity
FOUNDER • EDUCATOR • ESTATE PLANNING SPECIALIST
Hello, I’m Michael
For more than 20 years, I’ve worked with families on financial planning, estate planning and the decisions that shape what happens next.
Through SEND Family, I focus on making the complex parts easier to understand — so parents can see how Wills, guardianship, trusts, inheritance, LPAs and future planning fit together.
No jargon. No pressure. Just practical guidance and a clearer next step.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
You don’t need to have all the answers to start.
If you’re unsure what applies to your family, start with a short conversation. We’ll help you identify what matters, what can wait, and what to consider next.
Your Next Step: Moving From Overwhelm to Action
If you’ve attended a workshop or are ready for a direct conversation, here is how we work together – no pressure, just a clear path forward.
1. 15-Minute “Sanity Check”
No forms, no sales pitch.
A quick, honest conversation to uncover the gaps in your current protection and identify exactly what needs to change.
2. Total Clarity
We map out exactly what your family needs.
No more piecing it together yourself. We build a streamlined, integrated roadmap that covers your child’s care and your family’s security.
3. Done Once, Done Right
I take the heavy lifting from here.
I handle the legal and financial heavy lifting to ensure your child’s future is protected, communicated in plain English, with zero jargon.
Free Community Workshops & Webinars
I regularly host live, jargon-free educational events designed to empower SEND families to plan with confidence.
Unlike generic information portals, these sessions are delivered directly by me – bringing over two decades of financial planning experience, deep SEND expertise, and a parent’s perspective to the table. I walk you through everything from end to end, frequently bringing in trusted outside experts so you get a complete, transparent picture without any hidden sales agenda.
What We Cover:
- Legal Safeguards: Answering the heavy question every parent carries—“Who would actually look after my child if I wasn’t here?”—and getting absolute clarity on how to properly choose guardians, trustees, and attorneys through Wills and LPAs that stand the test of time.
- Asset Protection & Trusts: How to protect your child’s inheritance and money if you weren’t around, and learning about the specific types of trusts required to keep their future secure.
- Comprehensive Protection: Figuring out the right life cover, critical illness, and family income support without paying for policies that don’t fit your family’s actual needs.
- Making Sense of Your Money (When Everything Feels Overwhelming): Cutting through the confusion around ISAs, pensions, and family savings – I’ll help you make sense of it all. Learn how to structure safe gifting from grandparents, protect funds as your child transitions into adulthood, and build a secure financial cushion without accidentally jeopardising their means-tested state benefits.
Strictly educational, zero sales pitch: These sessions are designed to give you clarity and confidence, and do not constitute regulated financial or legal advice.
