[QUOTE="shelley262, post: 2486455, member: 455169"] [USER=25851]@Annb[/USER] I agree with [USER=521715]@MrsA2[/USER] on this one it has been suggested to us and we are exploring with a special needs specialist solicitor as trusts are complex and of course there are differences not only between councils but also between Scottish and English law.
