Elderly clients

We have drawn on the experience of several members of our firm to create a unit specialising in advice for the elderly client.

There are various matters which tend to affect the elderly in particular and we’re here to help in every way we can.

Our services and advice for the elderly include:

  • Preparing Wills and living Wills. For more on Wills click here

  • Advising on inheritance and other taxes

  • Preparing Powers of Attorney to give a person power to act on behalf of someone else

  • Discussing nursing and residential care including how to choose the right establishment, agree fees and different ways of paying them

  • Dealing with the Department for Work and Pensions, The Benefits Agency and County Councils in relation to all types of benefit (including home fees)

  • Full management of financial affairs including payment of all bills and monitoring bank accounts

  • Deputyship Orders when people can no longer manage their affairs.

We offer a sympathetic ear and an efficient service in all areas of the law.

Our team includes members of Solicitors for the Elderly and The Society of Trust and Estates Practitioners.
