Belinda contacted us about her diagnosis of cancer. Tragically, her husband had died of a sudden stroke a few months after Belinda was told she would not survive her cancer. They had 3 kids, one of whom has special needs and was on the NDIS. We very quickly assessed what could be done. We prepared and lodged claims for Belinda’s husband’s death and that claim was accepted for a large lump sum. Arrangements were made for that $300,000.00 to be invested for the kids. We then obtained medical evidence about Belinda’s cancer and analysed her choices under the complex fund she was in. A claim was lodged for Belinda’s terminal cancer and was accepted weeks afterwards for over $400,000.00. We arranged for Belinda to obtain independent expert financial advice. The $400,000.00 plus Belinda’s account balance was invested for the kids before Belinda sadly lost her cancer battle a few months afterwards.
