Aged Care
Advance
Directive:
An Advance Directive is a written statement which outlines your wishes
regarding future medical care in the event that you lose the capacity
to make your own decisions.
Funeral
Costs:
Funeral costs can vary considerably from one funeral
director or cemetery to another. It is good sense to shop around and get
at least three written quotes before making your decision.
Funeral
Services:
With the rising cost of funerals it is advisable
to be aware of the Australian Tax Office (ATO) rules about which funeral
products and services are subject to GST and how this should be applied.
Pensioner Council Rate Rebates
Mortgages:
Cash-poor but asset-rich pensioners borrow
against their home and don’t
repay the loan until the house is sold (when they move or die).
The
biggest risk is that fees, charges and compound interest that are
added
to the principal loan may leave you with no remaining assets if
you move
to more suitable accommodation.
