Your input after that would
be up to you. You could:
Visit the child, get to know
the child, have birthday parties, take the
child on holiday, get involved with the care
giver and many other ideas.
Or
You could simply pay the money
and not get involved. It is your own choice.
We will send you yearly reports
and photos of your child. |

We
will maintain the Post Office book for you
and see that the child gets the money when
they become of age. In the case of their decease
prior to the date, we will use the money to
help with funeral expenses. The remaining money
will go to the next of kin.
