Legal Services for the Elderly

We deal specifically with the needs of the elderly client. This includes visiting the Client at home to discuss his/her affairs. For example, we can prepare Powers of Attorney to assist with your general ancillary affairs including advice regarding the Attorney; help with a property move and a move into full-time care if this becomes necessary.

We also have a dedicated team which specialises in the needs of elderly clients. This can include arranging for a member of our team to visit you at home to discuss the management of your affairs. If you fear losing control of your assets as you grow older, we can assist you by discussing the preparation of a Lasting Power of Attorney for you so that someone you trust will always be safeguarding your best interests. We will then work side by side with you or your designated Attorney to provide for your best interests. We will also ensure that, should you need to move into a care home, your finances and benefits are appropriately managed on your behalf.

We can assist you with:

  • Preparing and drafting your Will;
  • Preparing for Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax;
  • Tax-saving Wills;
  • Setting up a Trust in your Will to care for e.g. minors;
  • Advising you on how to most efficiently dispose of your Property in your Will;
  • Elderly client care;
  • Lasting Powers of Attorney;
  • Deferred payment of care home costs;
  • Claiming Attendance Allowance;
  • Living Wills/Advance Decisions.
